Distance and timing basis

The recorded total and the leg detail need reconciliation. Inspect the leg notes before using this record for timing or navigation. Stops, delays, approach and any separate return travel add time. Basis: producer-declared routed record.

Reading history stays on this device. My road watch requires a separate selection; opening it does not subscribe this ride.

Distance and riding time are measured on the routed road. Check local closures and conditions before you ride.

Waypoint introductions and full write-ups

  1. 1. Nador

    Nador lies on the edge of a lagoon, and its fortunes have long been tied to the border. The city, with about a hundred and thirty thousand people, sits on the north-eastern coast of Morocco beside the Mar Chica, a large salt lagoon separated from the Mediterranean by a narrow sandbar, and only a short distance from the Spanish enclave of Melilla, whose land border at Beni Enzar is one of the busiest on the continent. The result is a lively, commercial place, with trade, remittances and a large diaspora in Europe visible in the new buildings and busy shops.

    Recorded stop-planning note

    May refer to an earlier itinerary; verify against your selected route before riding.

    Planning note

    Nador sits at 0 km, early in the day. Next is Al Hoceima.

  2. 2. Al Hoceima

    Al Hoceima is where the Rif mountains finally run out of road and tip into the Mediterranean. The town curls around a bay under dry cliffs, with a small Spanish-held rock, the Penon de Alhucemas, sitting just offshore, and beyond the harbour the water goes from green to a very deep blue. It is a lively, slightly shabby, thoroughly Moroccan resort, and the people who fill its beaches in August come mostly from Morocco itself and from Moroccan families living in Europe.
