Spanish National Police clear the last major migrants’ encampment at Guano beach in Ceuta, a Spanish territory, with the operation taking place two days before a scheduled visit by King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia. Euronews and other outlets report the remaining camp holds about 400 people, and some migrants leave the area for nearby hills as police move in.
The camp’s presence is linked to a large influx of migrants across the border from neighbouring Morocco in late July. Multiple reports cite more than 70,000 arrivals during July 30–31, which led to a wave of encampments across Ceuta. Outlets describe Guano beach as the last remaining camp after earlier sites were cleared, and the police action as part of preparations ahead of the royal visit.
While coverage focuses on timing around the monarchy, the core details across sources are consistent: the camp at Guano beach is removed, the number remaining is about 400, and the arrivals that prompted the broader migrant situation occurred over July 30–31.
