Out of the 220,000 foreigners legally settled in Portugal, Morocco counts a community of 880 souls in the Iberian country, Portuguese authorities say.

More than half of the foreigners living in Portugal come from Africa, especially from Portugal's former colonies of Cap Vedere, Angola, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique and Sao Tome and Principe.
