More than 1,200 migrants have entered Spain illegally by sea over two days amid Spanish denials that Morocco failed to carry out patrols.
The interior ministry said the wave of migrants was the result of increased defences at the borders of two Spanish territories in North Africa, BBCreports.
More sub-Saharan migrants were now trying to reach Spain by boat, a Spanish spokesman told BBC News.
Co-operation between the two countries over migration remained good, he added.
Good weather conditions over the past two days have also been a factor, the BBC’s Tom Burridge reports from Madrid.
