Geographical situation

Spain still owns Ceuta and Melilla, two enclaves in Morocco, as well as some tiny islands in the Mediterranean. Spain has decided in 1995 to give the status of Autonomous community to those two territories, creating a tension between Spain and Morocco who wants to regain these.
