Ceuta and Melilla are two Spanish 'autonomous cities' bordering Morocco that, together with the tiny military outpost known as Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, are the only remaining European colonies in Africa. The future of these enclaves is the source of a long-standing dispute between Spain and Morocco, with the former intent on maintaining these territories, and Morocco wanting to pursue their integration into its borders.
