## 5 Conclusions  
The use of continuous geodetic stations is crucial due to the stability achieved through long and consistent time series. The objective of this study was to introduce a new velocity field calculated from cGNSS stations located in southern Spain and North Africa including, for the first time, data from CEUD, PVLZ, ALHU, ALBO, MELI, CHAF, and AVER and data not used before from TIOU, LIJA, ALJI, LOJA, and IFRN. The methodology used to process cGNSS data are based on the PPP technique. The software PRIDE has been used to estimate daily coordinates, and the program SARI has been used to analyze the corresponding coordinates time series. This study has presented the final analysis of GNSS data from the ROA stations, which provide displacement velocities from new continuous stations that had not been processed until now, in contrast to previous studies based on episodic campaigns or more sparse CGNSS stations with a few years of processing. This new set of data adds precision to previously published research on tectonic deformations and enhances the detail of the present-day deformation of the region. The results obtained from processing additional years at stations such as ALJI, ERRA, TAZA, BENI, LOJA, IFRN, and SFER have corroborated those of previous studies, even when using the PPP program from PRIDE with different processing methods, in addition to all the supplementary stations. EURA-NUBIA convergence with a WNW-ESE trend at a rate of 4.5 mm/yr, as proposed by previous studies, as well as the anti-clockwise rotation in the Gibraltar Arc in the Betic Cordillera in addition to clockwise rotation of the Rif, have been confirmed. Several stations have provided specific insights. The ALHU station, located in the Rif region, has only been operational for two years but is in a key position. It provides valuable insights into the extension of the Nekor Basin.Eastwards and southwards, TAZA and MELI exhibited very similar velocities, which could link them as part of the same zone related to the Rif foreland. AVER was positioned alongside past studies regarding the behavior of stations in the Coastal Meseta of western Morocco, although its behavior suggests that it has an unstable position, and TIOU exhibited a more westerly trend, which may be attributed to the long data collection period. In Betics, LIJA, however, exhibited a behavior that varied to the NW. The most interesting and peculiar behavior revealed for the first time in this contribution is the shortening observed between Alboran Island and Melilla, suggesting that the Eastern Alboran Sea is a weak area deformed by the Betic-Alboran-Rif seismically active shear zone and also by folds that accommodate the Eurasian-Nubia convergence. In summary, this study introduces a network of significant scientific interest in a sparsely instrumented area, providing valuable data that can complement previous studies. The analysis has also verified findings from studies conducted without permanent stations, such as the development of the Nekor Basin, the possible definition of the diffuse plate convergence zone between EURA and Nubia through the Gibraltar Arc, and various geological processes under discussion, including the potential connection of the North Middle Atlas Fault with the Melilla region. Additionally, this highlights the importance of maintaining such networks as they are essential for enhancing geophysical and geological research in the region.
