IBERDROLA, committed to education

This book was published as part of IBERDROLA's commitment to education, history and culture. It is an informative volume that provides an in-depth yet entertaining analysis into the influences between Spain and Morocco.

The book Protectorado español en Marruecos. Repertorio biográfico y emocional follows a previous volume published by the company in 2013, El Protectorado español en Marruecos: la historia trascendida, which covers the period of the Spanish Protectorate, coinciding with the first centenary of its formal establishment in 1912.

This publication invites readers to reflect on the relevance of this unique historical context and the transcendent relations it generated between the two countries, while alerting them to the traces of this shared sovereignty that still persist today.
