Abstract
Starting from a historical reconstruction and a socio-political analysis of a reality as particular as that of the Spanish enclave of Melilla - situtated in the eastern part of the Mediterranean coast of Morocco, only 100 km away from the Algerian border - the authors reflect on the dynamics of the European space along its external boundaries with particular reference to the Hispanic-Moroccan case and the phenomenon of migration which distinguishes it. The study is the result of fieldwork conducted by the authors, part of which is presented here.
