Or rather, modern. When you fly into Melilla through the territory of Morocco, dusty 1-2-story square boxes crowd under the wing of the plane. When after that you go out onto the central streets of Melilla, you experience dissonance when you see normal Spanish architecture. Not just normal. Melilla is second only to Barcelona in the number of Art Nouveau and Art Deco buildings. There are about 900 of them here. All thanks to Enrique Nieto, a student of Antonio Gaudi, who in 1939 became the city architect of Melilla. Architecture, in my opinion, is the main advantage of the city.
