Plazas de Soberanía

Bol

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The plazas de soberanía ("places of sovereignty"), formerly referred as "África Septentrional Española" (Spanish North Africa) or simply "África Española" (Spanish Africa) are the current Spanish territories in continental North Africa, bordering Morocco. Since the Reconquista, the Spanish army conquered and maintained numerous emplacements in North Africa as a defense against North Africa. Many of them, such as Oran, have been lost, and nowadays, with an approximate population of 143,000 people, only the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, which constitute the two plazas mayores de soberanía (or large places of sovereignty), and the Islas Chafarinas, the Peñón de Alhucemas and the Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, which constitute the three plazas menores de soberanía (or lesser sovereignty places), are still part of Spain.
