isla de Alborán

The Isla de Alborán is a small island in the Alborán Sea, part of the western Mediterranean, about 50 kilometres north of the Moroccan coast and 90 kilometres south of the province of Almería, Spain. A Spanish possession since 1540, it was taken from the Tunisian pirate Al Borani in the Battle of Alborán. It is home today to a small Spanish Navy garrison and an automated lighthouse. It is claimed by Morocco along with other territories on or along the coast of the Alboran sea including Islas Chafarinas, Melilla, Peñón de Alhucemas, Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera and Ceuta, as part of Greater Morocco.
