King Felipe of Spain is scheduled to visit Ceuta on Tuesday, 13 October, following a significant migration crisis that occurred in July. Over two days, more than 70,000 people crossed into Ceuta from Morocco, nearly equaling the city's population of 80,000; most migrants returned quickly but some stayed for weeks in camps and shelters until recent clearance operations moved them to reception centers. The visit aims to address local concerns and diplomatic tensions surrounding migration and Moroccan territorial claims, with the royal couple set to meet officials and community leaders before heading to Melilla on Wednesday.

Story summary
On 13 October, the Spanish royal couple visited Ceuta, a North African enclave of Spain, following an unprecedented migration crisis in July when more than 70,000 people crossed from Morocco into Ceuta over two days. Most migrants returned to Morocco quickly, but thousands stayed for weeks in camps and emergency shelters. On 1 October, police cleared the last major informal settlement at El Guano.
The crisis highlighted tensions within Ceuta; while some residents advocated for stricter border controls, others criticized hostility towards migrants. In the predominantly Muslim neighborhood of El Príncipe, locals provided shelter to women and children, with community representative Ahmed Enfed-Dal condemning attacks on shelters and interference with Red Cross food deliveries.
The royal couple's visit aims to meet local officials and civil society representatives, including those involved in humanitarian efforts, before traveling to Melilla. It marks the first time they have visited these enclaves since 2007.
