Ceuta was never Moroccan. In fact, Morocco didn't even exist when Ceuta became part of Portugal first (1415) and then Spain (either 1580 or 1640). Ceuta was a part of the Spanish Visigoth kingdom in the 7th Century before the Islamic Conquest (which for some reason we don't call colonisation). Ceuta has always had a strong connection with the rulers of Iberia.

When I go read a book in the park, it's all very nice and quiet until a motorcycle arrives

When I want to sleep with the window open, if I hear any noise it's due to these motorbikes doing races at night.

If I was dictator for a year and didn't have policing resources to enforce noise control, I would just ban non-electric motorbikes

can you elaborate?
