Abstract

A naturalist, there is no greater satisfaction than being the first to visit an unexplored place. This is what all those who for centuries carried out expeditions to unknown places for the study of nature must have felt. Obviously, there are fewer and fewer such places on the planet, and that is why when four decades ago Alfredo Asensi offered me the opportunity to travel to the Chafarinas Archipelago, I had the same feeling as those adventurers. The expedition was scheduled for 1979, but at the last moment it had to be suspended due to the worsening of Spanish-Moroccan relations. By then, it was planned that Francisco Conde would accompany Professor Asensi, which could not be the following year due to health reasons, giving me the opportunity to replace him
