Trampoline Beach: the open-air shelter for hundreds of Sub-Saharan Africans who resist in search of asylum

Nobody looks out to sea on Trampoline beach. In the short 140 metres of this small cove in Ceuta, visitors and tourists no longer throng. For days, it has been the open-air refuge for migrants staying in the city, whose horizon is not the Strait visible at the bottom of the water. Nor is it the one in the other direction, uphill, at the Temporary Immigrant Accommodation Centre (CETI), where there is no more room.

So around four hundred people, mostly men, are scattered here, on the rough sand of El Trampolín, waiting. Most of them don't really know what they are waiting for.
