	Melilla - Tourist Promotion of Melilla - Modernist Melilla
		The modernist Melilla that we know today was built at the beginning of the 20th Century, and is the result of a mixture of styles practiced by architects who believed in the city, imbuing it with a serene and vigorous elegance.
		This modernist essence was brought to Melilla by the architect Enrique Nieto, a disciple of Gaudí, who, at the start of the last century escaped from the shadow of the Catalan genius to let his imagination run free in the streets of this north-African city.
		As the 20th century began, Melilla was undergoing a transformation due to the consequences of significant economic, social and political changes.

	Religioscope - > Jews leaving Ceuta and Melilla
		Ceuta and slightly smaller Melilla are unlike any other part of Spain, where no Jews lived — at least not openly — until religious freedom was reinstated in the 19th century.
		The Jewish presence in Melilla is said to have started several years after the expulsion with a Spanish aristocrat who had Jewish ancestors.
		Yet he acknowledged that the communities are dwindling — primarily, he said, because there’s little future for young Jews in the enclaves, whose economies are dependent on tourism, trade and government subsidies.

	Inciting Terrorism - Tourists, Immigrants, Borders and Walls - Worldpress.org
		The Melilla Wall is therefore an incitement to terrorism and a legitimation of its effects.
		Pure individuals, the men and women who climb over the Melilla Wall and destroy their passport in order that they not be returned to their sub-sovereign nations, deprived therefore of any ward, resourceless and stateless, are changed into persons, into mere persons, and have no more than their bare human condition with which to resist.
		The Spaniards who stroll through the square in Marrakesh are nothing in and of themselves; and their self-assuredness, and disdain for others, their presumed invulnerability, is not the result of anything they have done or deserved but exclusively the result of their ownership of a passport whose aleatory value can suddenly disappear into thin air.
