The XXI century has been witnessing an unprecedented border closure to the free movement of persons, rather than that of products, goods or capital. This has been promoted by northern countries in co-llusion with leaders of southern countries, creating a serious social fracture. The aim of this paper was to analyze how the European Union (EU) is favoring the emergence of a border that crosses Morocco, among other countries, vertically, preventing the arrival of African migrants to the EU. Different secondary sources produced by different international organizations such as the European Border and Coast Guard Agency, the European Commission, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders and  others were analyzed The findings suggest that the outs ourcing of the EU border, at the political level, together with the economic relocation of European companies in some southern countries such as Morocco, is consolidating the existence of new spaces which configure what has been termed the vertical border, where new socioeconomic and sybolic scenarios emerge. El siglo XXI está siendo protagonista de un cierre fronterizo sin precedentes a la libre circulación de personas, pero no de mercancías, bienes o capital, promovido por los países del norte, y en connivencia con los dirigentes de los países del sur, generando una grave fractura social. El objetivo del presente artículo fue analizar de qué manera la Unión Europea (UE), estáfavoreciendo la emergencia deuna frontera que cruza verticalmente Marruecos (entre otros países), imposibilitando a lo largo de su territorio la llegada a la UE, no sólo de su población, sino también la procedente del resto de África. Se analizaron diferentesfuentes secundarias, producidas por organismos internacionales como la Agencia Europea de la Guardia de Fronteras y Costas, la Comisión Europea, Amnistía Internacional y Médicos Sin Fronteras. La externalización de la fronterade la UE, en el plano político,junto a la deslocalización, en el plano económico, de empresas europeas en algunos países del sur de Europa, como Marruecos, está consolidando laexistencia de nuevos espaciosque configuran lo que se denomina frontera vertical, donde emergen nuevos escenariossocioeconómicos y simbólicos.
