Most stay because the seaport's sunny climate is so similar to that of Algeria; others remain because they hope to return home some day, prefer to stay as close as possible to the Mediterranean. With this in mind, the pieds-noirs are clamoring for 45,000 new housing units in the city.

Others are Sephardim-Descendants of Spanish Jews who were forced into exile across the Mediterranean by Visigothic persecution in the 6th century or the Inquisition of the 15th.
