Moroccan men and women struggle to move their heavy loads of goods, bought within the Spanish exclave of Melilla, over the Barrio Chino border gate into Morocco. Melilla is a Spanish city on the north coast of Africa, bounded by Morocco and the Mediterranean Sea. Many would-be migrants see it as the gateway to Europe which accounts for the high-level of security along its borders. However, it is also a route of entry for goods and, if they can be carried by a person (the Bario Chino gate is for pedestrians only), do not attract taxes.
