Hispanic Africa is integrated by the Spanish territories of Ceuta, Melilla, and the Canary Islands, and two countries, Equatorial Guinea and Western Sahara (in dispute with Morocco), the territories of Spain which are geographically in Africa and in addition to the areas of Saharawi presence in Algeria. The countries have 1.9 million inhabitants, the Spanish territories 2.3 million and in total both have approximately 4.3 million.

Spanish coexists with other native languages such as Fang and other languages of Equatorial Guinea, while in the Sahara it coexists with Arabic. Spanish is spoken as a native language by a small minority in Equatorial Guinea, primarily in larger cities.^[17][18]

The predominant religion in Equatorial Guinea is Christianity, especially Catholicism, while in the Sahara it is Islam.
