    Excellent quick guide to Gibraltar and not too much denigration of Brexit, so I enjoyed it. Many thanks!

      Denigration of brexit!!! The majority of the uk population now agree that it was an act of self harm and should never have happened.

    Gibraltar hotels are pricey. Better to stay in a la linea hotel 5 mins walk from the border and walk in each day.

    To quote Sir Alex Younger (newly retired Head of MI6 who was actually the longest serving Head of MI6)- France has eclipsed us and Brexit has marginalised us!!!

    EU intransigence is the big problem here, not Brexit.
    Same reason customs checks are inexorably long entering the EU at La Linea, mindless EU rules and regulations

    Thanks for that. The Britishness of Gibraltar is more or less the same as Guernsey. Not surprising really. EU in Brussels is turning out to be a lumbering non accountable bureaucracy.

      Correct, but there are a couple of technical differences. Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory, formely a colony but largely self-governing. Guernsey is a Crown Dependency - the link is through the same head of state. If anything, Britain is Guensey's colony (via William Duke of Normandy aka William I of England)

    Gibraltar is not in the UK, technically or otherwise. It is an British Overseas Territory. It is largely self-governing, and has no representation in the UK parliament.

    You need a passport if you are an EU citizen! Where are you getting your info from?

      that isn't true, EU citizens are waved through within seconds if they show their national identity cards, something we don't have in the UK. Information is all available on the internet! :)

      it is those who have residency in the EU, and an accompanying resident's card, that are turned away.

    Been many years since I was there, was always long queue to enter due to arguments with Spanish Government, from what I remember La Linea was a dump - but I believe Spain has invested quite a bit on that town.

      La Linea is still a dump. Massive unemployment and under employment (getting a job in Gib is your best bet, unless you can get in on the drugs trade), black market economy, just awful schools, it's the typical failed EU dystopia typical of the southern Mediterranean.
