 The Gibraltar government rejects Spain's argument in its entirety.They point out that as "Utrecht" ceded ""the town and castle of Gibraltar, together with the port, fortifications, and forts thereunto belonging"" and there were such "fortifications and forts" along the line of the current frontier (Devil's Tower, El Molino), then this area was included in the cession.Furthermore, they argue, international practice at the time was that all territorial cessions included an extended surrounding area equivalent to the length of two cannon shots.
