Good Luck.
Britain says it will send ten warships to Gibraltar Monday. The ships will make a stop their way to the Middle East. Many people think the stopover is bad timing because relations Britain and Spain have become bad recently. Spain got angry Gibraltar's government put concrete blocks the seabed. It said this was to let sea life grow and to stop Spanish boats fishing nearby. Spain then said it might start charging 50 euros ( $67) people to travel the border Gibraltar and Spain. Tensions increased again when Spain started searching people entering Spain as security against terrorism. Motorists had to wait to six hours the border.

Spain gave Gibraltar to Britain in 1713 the Treaty of Utrecht. It became an important base for Britain's Royal Navy. Gibraltar is a small area land measuring just 6.8 square kilometers, south Cadiz. The 430-meter-tall Rock Gibraltar stands the center. The population is 30,000 and most of them are very pro-British. Many parts Gibraltar look like a piece mainland Britain. Spain has argued decades that Gibraltar should be returned to Spain. Britain's government said that could only happen if the people of Gibraltar vote it. The British prime minister told his Spanish counterpart: "This issue should not damage our bilateral relations. However there was a real risk this happening."
