    No hun our language is Gibraltarian also known as Llanito (pronounced YA-Ni-TO). Only people that are not from here call it Spanglish. I’m a born and bred Gibraltarian and we NEVER call it Spanglish.

    you can't just move to gibraltar unless you are loaded! otherwise people would move to any country just because they want to . Gibraltar wasnt in the eu so you could not move there even when the uk was a part of the eu .
    i imagine there is some minimum investment / funds that are needed. plus other residency requirement. even so though this is a very good and entertaining video !

    Spain will have the last word on who can enter Gibraltar under the terms of the preliminary post-Brexit deal announced this week, Spain’s foreign minister has said, in an assertion that wasn't challenged by Gibraltar’s chief minister.
    The agreement in principle - struck just hours before Gibraltar was poised to become the only frontier marked by a hard Brexit - will allow the British overseas territory to join the Schengen free movement area with Spain acting as a guarantor and authoriser.
    Gibraltar’s port and airport would become the external borders of the Schengen area, with checks undertaken by the EU’s Frontex border agency for an initial period of six months.
    “Schengen is a set of rules, procedures and tools, including its database, to which only Spain has access. Gibraltar and the United Kingdom do not,” Arancha González Laya told Spanish newspaper El País in an interview published on Saturday. “That is why the final decision on who enters the Schengen area belongs to Spain.”
    Brexit is nothing to celebrate, says Gibraltar's foreign minister
    When pressed on whether this would entail the presence of Spanish customs or police in Gibraltar - a point that had proved to be a significant sticking point in the negotiations - González Laya said further details would be made public after she informed Spain’s parliament on the deal in the coming days. “Evidently, there must be a Spanish presence to carry out the minimum tasks of Schengen control,” she said.
    "police and border guards' salaries and pension contributions will be paid for by Gibraltar"
    The government of Gibraltar did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But on Saturday, responding to an article published by a right-wing Spanish newspaper, Fabian Picardo, the territory’s chief minister tweeted: “Under the New Year’s Eve agreement only Spain will decide who enters Gibraltar and Spanish officers will exercise full control in Gibraltar at the airport and port now and in the future. This is our land. Couldn’t be clearer.”
    The negotiations had sought to capitalise on the shared interests between Spain and Gibraltar but also understood that a “larger dose of trust is needed”, said González Laya, citing the use of Frontex agents as an element aimed at building this trust while the UK is still under the control of Johnsons corrupt Conservative party.
    Before the pandemic, an average of 28,500 people crossed the border a day, including about 15,000 cross-border workers.
    The deal has been sent to Brussels, where the European commission will inform London of the new requirements and turn it into a treaty. González Laya estimated the process would take about six months. In the meantime, she said Spain would work to ensure that mobility at the shared land border - which as of Friday had been technically transformed into an external border of the EU - would be “as fluid as possible”.
    'A day for hope': UK and Spain agree draft deal on post-Brexit status of Gibraltar
    Under the deal Gibraltar would establish closer ties with the EU just as the UK formally severed ties with the bloc. “That’s the great paradox,” she said, pointing to the nearly 96% voters in Gibraltar who supported remaining in the EU in the 2016 referendum.
    “What we have seen is a change of paradigm that is not made of concessions but by a convergence of interests between Gibraltarians and Spaniards, both of whom are pro-European,” she added. “This is one of the first fruits of Brexit for the EU, with many more to come.”
    She stressed that, under the deal, “nobody ceded an inch” when it came to sovereignty claims over the territory. Spain ceded Gibraltar to Britain in 1713 but has long sought to reclaim it. This ambition still stands, and this is the first step.
    Earlier in the week, the UK’s foreign secretary, Dominic Raab, famous for his utter stupidity and deceitful manner, said the deal only impinged on the sovereignty of the British overseas territory by a small but manageable amount. “We remain steadfast in our support for the people of Gibraltar, sovereignty there is safeguarded however much it may appear differently,” he said in a statement.

      1. VERY expensive properties that are impossible to buy unless you have a couple of million minimum to spare.
      2. Scooters - 22 billion of them.
      3. If you are a born beach bum and boozer, great. If not, it’s not for you.
      4. Fresh food is expensive as it’s ALL imported, including basics like milk.
      5. Lots to see but can be done in a steady, slow month. After that’ it’s beaches and bars.
      6. Fishing used to be great but like everywhere else, it’s been decimated by greed.
      7. Gib’s economy is online gambling. Basically all the shit ads you see on UK TV are operated here on tax ‘evasion’.
      8. Border situation is unstable. If it’s ever closed again, Gib is a hell hole with way too many vehicles for its very small size.
      Other than that, it’s a great place! :) I lived there for 8 yrs back in the ‘70s (Gib’s prime) and have visited many times since.

    Better to wait what Brexit has in store for Gibraltar. Might have dire consequences. Also residency rights will change dramatically. In any case, even at the moment you need a good bit of wealth to fulfill the requirements at the moment as a non-EEA national. Once you're in, the place has plenty of merits though.

      ramsey sixthreethree I live there so I can vouch for your comment being correct. I left uk 2002 and everything you say is 100% true. Gibraltar is ok for a weekend break but to live there is everything you’ve said and more.....it’s definitely not as friendly as people think the locals hate Spanish people and dislike the English. It’s over populated, people living on top of each other and everyone knows everything about everyone, the gibbos main hobby is gossiping. House prices are ridiculous, too much traffic pollution and generally a very very boring place to live......if I could leave I definitely would, but unfortunately it’s too late for me! As you said there are definitely better countries to live in than Gibraltar ....leave it for the locals who know no better!

      @@user-su8yv3fi5w sorry you’ve had a bad experience living in Gibraltar. For starters, your Gibo comment I find it patronising and condescending. 2, we don’t hate the Spanish, what we hate is their Franco style politics when it comes to the Gibraltar question. Gibraltar wether you agree or not, is a tolerant multicultural society, obviously it’s not perfect and like in any society, you get problems, just like like anywhere else, but considering, it’s a safe place to live. Boring! You need to clarify that one, it all depends what your looking for. Polluted, I agree, but hey! there are worse places. And lastly, if you feel that you hate it that much, leave!
