The border separating Morocco from the Spanish autonomous city of Ceuta is one of the world’s most unique international frontiers.

There is only one crossing point for vehicles and pedestrians, known as Tarajal. The first thing you will notice is the formidable security infrastructure. The border is enclosed by parallel 6-meter-high fences topped with barbed wire, complete with watchtowers, thermal imaging cameras, and a constant patrol of Spanish Guardia Civil and Moroccan authorities. This is designed to manage the intense pressure of irregular migration.
