evidence: The Spanish Territories of Morocco: Melilla and Ceuta [...] The next territories are Melilla and Ceuta. Often referred to as the "twin cities," these are both autonomous cities that belong to Spain. These two coastal cities are on mainland Morocco but separated from the rest of the country with walls 20ft of height. According to Eurostat data from 2019, Melilla has a population of 84,689 and Ceuta has a population of 84,829. Although located in North Africa, these cities are a part of the European Union, use the Euro as their currency, and use Spanish as their official language. [...] Since the Spanish acquisition of the two cities, Melilla was part of the Malaga Province of Spain, and Ceuta belonged to the Cadiz province but both the cities were granted autonomy in March of 1995. Ceuta and Melilla’s government systems are now Mayor-President systems with a 25 seat assembly.
