Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera is a Spanish exclave and rocky tidal island in the western Mediterranean Sea connected to the Moroccan shore by a sandy isthmus. It is also connected to a smaller islet to the east, La Isleta, by a rocky isthmus. The tidal island was named Hajar Badis and was connected to the town of Badis. Vélez de la Gomera, along with La Isleta, is a premodern overseas possession known as a plaza de soberanía.
