The CENIF report reproduced by La Región on 3 September says: “Almost all of the irregular entries into Ceuta over 30 and 31 July take place at the south-eastern end of the border, in the area of the El Tarajal breakwater.” The same report describes the crossing from Castillejos beach, in Morocco, going around the breakwater by swimming or along the top of the riprap, without entering the water.
