From Ceuta to Oued Laou

The Mediterranean Coast
 
 

First day: we arrive to Ceuta by boat very early in the morning, so we have loads of time in front of us to cycle to Martil, a small beach resort not far from Tetouan. Most of the visitors here are Moroccans!

On the way, we stop at Cabo Negro, a more "Club Med" style resort for Occidentals only, completely deserted in the low season.

So we decide to finish the last few kilometers from Cabo Negro to Martil by foot, along the beach, and enjoy a bit of peacefullness, tranquility, the sunshine, the holidays ...

Second day: the Rif mountains are starting to show. No need to be impatient, because the coastal road is pretty hilly itself. We start to wonder how high it will get in the Rif!

We arrive at Oued Laou 9it is also the name of the nearby river), and go directly to its very typical souk: very crouded, busy, with animals everywhere (we saw someone stuff a live sheep in the luggage compartment of a bus). Here, a few kids with bikes try to race us ... with no succes!

Oued Laou is a small fishing village, and the beach is opened to everybody, even cows.
