And her passport now carries a new stamp - one that says she can’t cross into Spain now for three months! Christina Davies was on her way to a dental appointment in La Linea, when things started getting complicated.

The Government has not had any confirmation from Spain as to whether or not bridging measures for red ID card holders will continue once the new electronic frontier system is in place. Asked by GBC, Number Six said the only information available to the Government at this time is what it said in the Technical Notice issued this week. That notice said Spain and Schengen authorities are obliged to treat Gibraltarians as third-party nationals. This means, should the bridging measures not be extended, the full effect of a hard Brexit could become a reality for the first time for many Gibraltarians this November. Our reporter Christina Cortes told us more.

The Netherlands had Van Gogh, Italy had Da Vinci, and Gibraltar has Hook. Christian's been a busy man of late, recently back from Greece on one of his latest projects. He’s put one of his original works up for sale, with the profits set to be donated to Calpe House.

Yesterday the Government announced changes to the Frontier. As from November there will be a new Entry/Exit system in place, which will likely cause delays. If the changes do go ahead Gibraltar will reciprocate. Johnny Walker is a proud British Caleteño – we spoke to him about the news.

Francis Martin grew up in Caleta, and told us about what the Bay was like during his childhood. He also discussed his concerns over the eastside reclamation and its impact on the area.

And, Charlie Walker helps to supervise lifeguards at Catalan Bay. He told us about their role in keeping beachgoers safe – especially fitting given that tomorrow is Drowning Prevention Day.
