These tiny enclaves on Morocco's north coast represent Spain's last claim to Africa. Indeed, most residents are Spanish and proclaim strict allegiance to Madrid. Architecture, food, language, customs--all are more Andalusian than Moroccan. Temperatures rarely rise above 80 deg. or dip below 50deg.
It was the military uprising at the Melilla garrison on July 17-18, 1936, which touched off the three-year Spanish Civil War. | ||
