King Felipe VI of Spain and his wife, Queen Letizia, are visiting Ceuta this Tuesday, October 13, just over two months after a major migration crisis.
Indeed, more than 70,000 migrants from Morocco surged into this Spanish enclave on African soil, creating an exceptional situation.
This is the first visit by a Spanish monarch to Ceuta in nearly 20 years. The visit is eagerly awaited by the local population, who are keen to see direct royal support.
The visit is also closely monitored in Rabat, which continues to claim Ceuta, making the diplomatic context particularly tense.
