Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera
Spain
Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera (Spanish pronunciation: [peˈɲon de ˈele ðe la ɣoˈmeɾa]), also known as Hajar Badis (Hajar Badis), is a Spanish tied island, exclave and former rocky tidal island in the western Mediterranean Sea. It is connected to the Moroccan shore by a sandy isthmus and to a smaller islet to the east, La Isleta, by a rocky isthmus. The tidal island was historically named Hajar Badis (Rock of Badis), referring to its proximity to the town of Badis. Vélez de la Gomera, along with La Isleta, is a historic possession known as a plaza de soberanía ("stronghold of sovereignty"). It is administered by the Spanish central government and has a population consisting only of a small number of Spanish military personnel. Its border with Morocco is 85 m (279 ft) long. Morocco asserts a claim to the peninsula as part of its territory, alongside other Spanish plazas de soberanía in North Africa.
