The autonomous city of Ceuta is a Spanish exclave that is located on the northern Mediterranean shore of Morocco. Culturally considered part of Andalucia, Ceuta has been part of Spain for the past 550 years, after changing hands numerous times down the ages. Today, the city and port is part of the EU, utilises the euro as its official currency and enjoys a standard of living comparable to modern-day Spain.
Ceuta has existed as part of the Spanish state since 1668, when Portugal’s Treaty of Lisbon officially ceded ownership of the territory to Spain, having disputed land rights for many years. Since that date, a moat and Royal walls have separated Ceuta from Morocco, with a thin strip of neutral territory the official ‘buffer zone’ between the two countries, made real by a razor-wire border fence which spans the divide.
Ceuta has been one of Spain’s most important ports for centuries, due to its strategic location at the gateway to the Atlantic. Indeed, the city’s Monte Hacho is widely regarded to be the southern ‘Pillar of Hercules’, along with Gibraltar on mainland Spain, which, conversely, is a British Overseas Territory. In this modern age, Ceuta is now a low tax zone of Spain and an important centre for fishing and oil exports. Visitors to Ceuta can take advantage of the favourable taxes, excellent Mediterranean views, superb climate and unique culture, which combines traditions of Andalucia and Morocco and influences of Berber and Sephardic Jewish cultures to create a unique and intoxicating atmosphere.
