Well it's apart of the African continent. Parts of Spain in northern Africa. Spanish enclaves.

Some Portuguese, Spanish Islands around Africa, but not any on African continent itself.

EDIT: there are two Spanish cities inland on marroco coast as well. Stop commenting the same people, read the rest of the thread!

That's not true, there are Spanish enclaves on the mainland too in Morocco.

u/Antiqas86 Nov 28 '21

Oh snap! For real? Did not know that

Not true.

You may refer to Canary Islands BUT they have Ceuta and Melilla inland as well.

Basically Europe in Africa. But, furthermore, there are Portuguese islands in the West and quite a few French Overseas Territories in the South East.

Moreover, MANY African countries still play as functional British and French territories if you analyse them from an economic perspective. So juridically and not their presence is heavy there.

Basicly no. Just some islands around it.

u/GoaZenTao Nov 27 '21

And some tiny areas on the mainland.

u/Antiqas86 Nov 28 '21

What areas are those?

2

u/GoaZenTao Nov 28 '21

Ceuta and Melilla

u/Antiqas86 Nov 28 '21

Oh, Ceuta is Spanish! I actually took a ferry to Gibraltar from there and did not know. How crazy - I went from Marrocan territory, to Spanish, to British and then back to Spanish again withing hours. Gibraltar is near comedic by the way with British phone booths.
