Relations between Spain and Algeria down the centuries merit the focus of a significant bibliographic output, a large part of which has concentrated on the study of the formation and unforeseen incidents of the important Spanish colony in French Algeria between 1830 and 1914. In recent years, two aspects of Spain’s presence in Algerian territory have become increasingly more important: the arrival of thousands of people exiled after their escape from Spain following the triumph of Franco’s army in the Civil War, and the settlement in the levante Peninsular of thousands of pied-noirs escaping Algeria after independence was declared in 1962.
