Hispanic Africa (Spanish: Hispanoáfrica)[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][excessive citations] is a cultural region integrated by the territories and countries of Africa where Spanish has an official presence.[9][10][11][12][13][14][excessive citations] The people from this region are called "Hispanic Africans".[15][16]
The territory is integrated by 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 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. The predominant religion in Equatorial Guinea is Christianity, especially Catholicism, while in the Sahara it is Islam.
