David Cameron says he has had a "constructive" phone call about Gibraltar with his Spanish counterpart.
The Prime Minister called Mariano Rajoy to express "serious concerns", Number 10's press office said.
The move follows a formal protest from Britain's ambassador to Spain over the "disproportionate" checks at the border of the British territory last weekend.
Spain was accused of behaving like North Korea after proposing to levy border crossing fees.
After making a bid to ease tensions over the telephone, Mr Cameron said on Twitter: "Constructive call with Spain's PM Rajoy. I made clear my concerns re Gibraltar and that our position on sovereignty won't change".
Mr Cameron last spoke to Mr Rajoy about the situation in June, before the latest breakdown in relations.
Last weekend, Ambassador Giles Paxman sought an official explanation for Spanish threats to levy changes and to close airspace.
Mr Paxman visited the Spanish secretary of state for foreign affairs Gonzalo de Benito. The Foreign Office said Mr Paxman reiterated that the UK would stand "shoulder to shoulder" with Gibraltar in face of threats from Spain.
