At least 6,000 people, including around 1,500 minors, swam from Morocco to the bordering Spanish enclave of Ceuta on Monday in the largest influx of illegal migration there in a single day, Spanish authorities said.
The migrants swam from two locations, with some entering southern Ceuta at Tarajal beach, and a larger group entering the north of the city at Benzu beach, a spokesman for the Spanish government in Ceuta told CNN. One man drowned in the process, the spokesman added. At both locations, migrants swam around rocky breakwaters jutting out into the Mediterranean that mark the border between the countries. The spokesman said it was a short distance in each case.

Took the car ferry from Algeciras to Ceuta, then drove into Morocco. The young Moroccan border guards were a hoot, asking about any porn or alcohol we might be smuggling-joking and laughing. It was all fun and games with them. Their stern faced supervisor who misplaced my friend’s passport for about 45 minutes, not so much.
What are they fleeing from in Morocco?
Might have been fleeing Moroccan fundamentalists who cut the heads off two young Norwegian gals, touring Morocco’s Atlas Mountains.
