yes.
But the effects are only minor (so far) and the newer
buildings are designed accordingly.

Thanks it seems to be as Malaga. Seem to be the same for the entire Costa
del Sol, Costa Blanca and perhaps better up north.
Is Gib a EU-member so you can get all Spanish social service and they get it
in Gib?
Are they still harassing at the border?

Gib joined the EU when the UK did, some 13 years before Spain did. Gib has
its own infrastructure and provides its own social services.

There are seismic events recorded as occurring between the African plate and
the European plate almost daily. The overwhelming majority pass without
no-one ever noticing them, the plates moving past each other at the rate of
2mm / year. Divide this by 350 to get the typical movement caused on a
virtual daily basis, and you can see how each individual "shock" is
imperceptible. It is more a case of continuous movement. This implies that
no particular pressure is built up and a major event is unlikely, but of
course past performance is no guarantee of future (in)activity.

If you watched the documentary on the collapse of Ronan point
you might have heard the reasons why the disaster happened
including that they simplified the Danish method of using pre
fabricated components,
Europort, Eurotowers and Sir William Jackson Grove aka Gib 5
all built using components did not.
The cause of the Ronan Point disaster was not, however,
structural failure as such, but failure to deal with a large gas
explosion in one flat. As there is no gas used in Gibraltar this
is clearly not an issue.
Finally the development is not high rise, wheras Ronan point
was 22 floors.
Now apart from those differences they are ... similar.
