A Guinean migrant entered the Spanish territory of Ceuta from Morocco curled up next to a car engine and another was hidden behind the back seat of the Mercedes-300 car.<\/p>\n

Spanish police found the pair late on Sunday during a customs check at El Tarajal, near the Moroccan border.<\/p>\n

The two men from Guinea got first aid, having suffered from a lack of oxygen, Spain’s Guardia Civil police said.<\/p>\n

Sub-Saharan Africans often try to enter Ceuta, as a gateway to the EU.<\/p>\n

The two illegal migrants did not have any papers, and were identified in the statement only as “TD and AB from Guinea Conakry”. They are also under official investigation now.<\/p>\n

Ceuta and Melilla are tiny Spanish enclaves on the North African coast, which have erected formidable border fences to keep out illegal migrants.<\/p>\n

The fences have led some migrants to resort to extreme methods to get into Spain, such as swimming into the ports or even hiding in suitcases.<\/p>\n

Last month, a Moroccan man suffocated to death in a suitcase after his brother tried to smuggle him to mainland Spain aboard a ferry from Melilla.<\/p>\n
