About Peñón de Alhucemas

The Alhucemas Islands (Spanish: Islas Alhucemas, Arabic: جزر الحسيمة) are a group of three islets under Spanish sovereignty located in the Bay of Al Hoceima, in the Alboran Sea of the western Mediterranean Sea. They have historically been classified as "minor places of sovereignty" within the plazas de soberanía. The islands are part of Spain's Plazas de soberanía and is under Spanish administration, however they are also claimed by Morocco as part of its territory alongside other Spanish territories in Northern Africa.
