Aanvullende informatie

The Chafarinas Islands — three small volcanic islets off the northeastern Moroccan coast — have been a Spanish possession since 1848, when a naval detachment landed hours ahead of a French expedition making for the same anchorage. That near-miss of colonial competition has defined their status ever since: uninhabited by civilians, garrisoned by a small military detachment, and administratively attached to Melilla.

This piece belongs to Spain's "Ciudades y Villas con Sello Real" series, which assigns anachronistic dates drawn from the year each territory received its royal charter or relevant historical privilege — hence 1435, not 2014.
