Interesting development but not entirely surprising:
Spain Brexit: PM Sánchez threatens to vote no over Gibraltar
Quote:
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has said Spain will reject the draft Brexit withdrawal deal without a clarification of the text on future talks on the status of Gibraltar.
Spain maintains a claim to the peninsula, ceded to the British crown under the 1713 Treaty of Utrecht.
It wants to ensure that future EU talks with the UK do not cover Gibraltar.
"As things stand today if there are no changes regarding Gibraltar, Spain will vote no on Brexit," said Mr Sánchez.

I suspect that Spain will be talked down from this position to ease things through but if they dig their heels in, this would be a problem.
