Afro-Spaniards are Spanish nationals of sub-Saharan African descent. They today mainly come from Cameroon, Gambia, Mali and Senegal. Additionally, many Afro-Spaniards born in Spain are from the former Spanish colony and province of Equatorial Guinea. Spaniards with Sub-Saharan ancestry originating in Hispanic America are generally excluded from this definition.
