King Juan Carlos of Spain is to pay a controversial visit to two Spanish-held enclaves on the tip of North Africa for the first time in his 32-year reign. Morocco considers the enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla to be occupied Moroccan territory and recalled its ambassador to Spain in protest at the visit

Neither city was ever Maroccan as Marocco didn´t exsist yet, the belonged to the Kingdom of Fez.
