Ceuta is a Spanish exclave, military post, and free port on the coast of Morocco, at the Mediterranean entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. Ceuta is an autonomous city administered by Spain. Ceuta, Melilla (also an exclave), and other tiny islets along the coast of North Africa constitute the territories of Spanish North Africa. The city is on a narrow isthmus that connects Mount Hacho (also held by Spain) to the mainland.

It’s a weird little place. It is basically like Spain’s version of Gibraltar. Just as Spain are always chasing the British to hand over Gibraltar and being refused, Morocco demand that Spain hand over Ceuta but the Spanish always refuse.
