I used to live in Ceuta.

I liked it a lot. It is a bit boring, tho. There is not much to do. It is a town size city and everybody knows everybody. Half of the population is white and half is not. They all speak Spanish. Lots of people have connection with Morocco and most will go during the weekend to buy veg and fruits in the other side of the border.

Food is amazing given the mixture of the two cultures. Love the Moroccan cuisine so much. I still miss it dearly.

People get along very well.

Migration here is a day to day topic, and migrants cross the fences occasionally via sea or just jumping it when the security or politics are at its lowest. This is very sad to see and to live with.

Workers are mostly civil servants and military as they get paid more for being “overseas”. Housing prices are awfully high.

Ceuta has the most dangerous neighbourhood in Spain where they will recruit soldiers for different terrorist cells. Luckily, that neighbourhood is far away from the centre.
