Algeria and Spain relations
Algeria–Spain relations are foreign relations between Algeria and Spain. Algeria has an embassy in Madrid. Spain has an embassy in Algiers and a consulate-general in Oran. Both countries are full members of the Union for the Mediterranean.
As much as the difficult relationship between Spain and Morocco, however, Spain and Algeria enjoy a larger and friendlier level of relationship due to sharing historical commons, historical conflicts with Morocco and as being two Mediterranean countries.
In early 16th century, the Spanish Empire and the Ottoman Empire engaged to exert control over Algeria. Spain captured in 1510 the rock of Algiers and held it for brief spell before being expelled by Hayreddin Barbarossa in 1529.
The Spanish Monarchy exerted control of Oran (1509–1708; 1732–1792) and the neighbouring port of Mers El Kébir for much of the early modern period.
