Passport checks Spain, Gibraltar

[steveallan]

Used the land crossing a couple of days ago.
Spanish police officer checked my passport after checking all the pages he asked why I had no entry stamp.
Produced my TIE so everything was okay. Not sure what would have happened if I didn't have a residency card.

Is Gib not in the Schengen area now? If so then why the passport check?

The UK is not part of Schengen. They will be making sure that UK citizens are not sneaking in by the back door.
