List of Spanish territories in Morocco - Definition and Overview

In addition to its autonomous communities, Spain claims five plazas de soberanía (places of sovereignty) near Morocco.

The cities of Ceuta and Melilla have more powers than plain cities (they can produce regulations to execute Acts, with higher regulation competencies than normal city councils) but fewer than autonomous communities (these cities cannot produce autonomous Acts). The other three locales are under direct Spanish administration.

When Spain withdrew from Morocco in 1956, it did not withdraw its claims to any of the islands and islets off Morocco's northern coast. This left the Chafarinas Islands and the Rocks of Alhucemas and Vélez de la Gomera under direct Spanish administration.

All of these places of sovereignty are claimed by Morocco.
