The fence separating Spain from Gibraltar was dismantled at midnight on July 15. This follows a June deal between Spain, the EU, Gibraltar, and the UK. It creates a fluid border for the Rock more than a decade after Brexit.
The removal ends a barrier that stood since 1908. For years after the UK left the EU, talks dragged on about how to handle the border. Now people and goods can move more freely between the two sides.
The agreement brings Gibraltar closer to the EU's open border system. Residents on both sides hope for easier daily travel and stronger economic ties. The Rock itself gains a new role in regional trade.
Local leaders say this step builds trust and opens doors for the future. Families divided by rules can reunite with less hassle. Businesses expect growth from smoother crossings in the years ahead.
