The Isla Perejil (Parsley Island, Arabic: Leila, "night") is a small, rocky island located in the Strait of Gibraltar, 200m off the coast of Morocco, 5km from Ceuta. The island is a plaza de soberanía of Spain, although it is claimed by Morocco. Spain bases its claim on its being missing from Morocco's independence treaty.
