• The rock of Gibraltar, ceded to the United Kingdom in 1713, is considered a historical anachronism that harbors 21st-century interests such as military bases, taxation, trade, and employment.
• Although Gibraltar has generated sporadic incidents, they rarely constitute claims or political calls, though its future is a complex issue.
• The diplomacies of London and Madrid often address the issue. In 2002 an attempt at co-sovereignty was rejected by the Gibraltarian population.
• Brexit changed the status of Gibraltar, creating a need to adapt to the new reality and establishing a new border for the EU.
• Negotiations are underway to transform the situation into a 'common prosperity space', seeking to balance issues of sovereignty, compensation for fiscal privileges, border transit, and autonomy of the British military bases.

Conclusion: Despite historical challenges, there is potential to turn Gibraltar into a zone of strong economic and commercial potential, where collaboration prevails over conflicts.
