S2, EP : 73. Ceuta and Melilla. Spanish cities in Africa.

Alright, folks, buckle up because this new chapter is a wild one! We’re diving into a part of Spain that’s not in Spain… well, technically it is, but it’s in North Africa. Confused? Don’t worry, they break it all down for you! This time, the program takes us into the fascinating and complex history of Ceuta and Melilla, two Spanish cities sitting right on the coast of North Africa. These places aren’t just your average sunny Mediterranean spots, no way Jose! They’ve been military strongholds, trade hubs, and, let’s be honest, the center of some serious political drama. They get into everything: from how these cities became part of Spain centuries ago, their fortresses and strategic importance, to what they’re like today: modern, diverse, and full of life. But, of course, there’s some controversy. Morocco isn’t exactly thrilled that Spain still holds onto them, and that leads to some interesting political debates. It’s got history, international politics, and even a bit of intrigue. What more could you want? So grab your headphones, hit play, and get ready to impress your friends with your new knowledge about Spain’s unexpected corner of Africa! Don't forget to subscribe and Enjoy!
