The visit, agreed with the Government on 1 October, includes a stay at the Ceuta Parador. The monarchs will be accompanied by ministers Ángel Víctor Torres and Elma Saiz, though Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez will not attend. The itinerary features a tribute at Sidi Embarek cemetery for those lost at sea in July and visits to local primary schools. This historic visit ends a 19-year gap since the last royal trip by **King Juan Carlos I** in 2007. It follows a major migration event in July and a statement from King Mohammed VI of Morocco, with Felipe VI becoming the first monarch to stay overnight in Ceuta. ## Related news [#Ceuta]() [#Spain]() [#Migration]() [#SupremeCourt]() [#PedroSánchez]() 27 October 2026 at 12:50 ## [Court rejects Ceuta's urgent migrant return bid]() > The Spanish Supreme Court has denied Ceuta's request for an immediate migrant expulsion plan following a mass entry of 70,000 people.
