The question always arises as to why Spain is allowed to create difficulties at the frontier with American personnel who consequently have to turn back because they are stopped from entering into Gibraltar. Curiously, in 1997, the Commissioner President Jaques Santer and his wife visited the Rock privately. Apparently they endured a queue of nearly two hours, which they thought ludicrous to the extreme.

It would be right and proper that when a newspaper, a freebie supposedly local, writes about the state of our beaches, that they don`t just say it marks a big improvement from 2018 as far as Western beach is concerned, but that they clarify that the poor quality, largely due to levels of sewage contamination, is a problem we have inherited from Spain.
