Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera is the most pointless colony of all time, with a 70 metre sandbank creating the shortest border between any two countries on earth. So why doesn’t Spain give it back? The answer involves all of The Spanish Empire’s remaining African possessions: Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, Ceuta and Melilla.
Why don’t they just give them to Morocco?
It’s a fascinating historical story, and if you do have a take on what Spain should do next, be sure to let me know in the comments 🙂
