Histoire

Read the itinerary through city of strait light in Tangier, eastern Mediterranean gateway beside the Marchica lagoon in Nador, and Rif Mediterranean base of coves in Al Hoceima.

Before Jebha, day 1 belongs to Tangier and city of strait light; day 5 gives Jebha, before Tangier, room for a working harbour; Nador holds day 7 ahead of Tangier around eastern Mediterranean gateway beside the Marchica lagoon. Akchour holds day 8 ahead of Tangier around walking conditions change with the season; Al Hoceima shapes day 12 ahead of Tangier through strong local identity.

In practice, city of strait light in Tangier and eastern Mediterranean gateway beside the Marchica lagoon in Nador give Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma and Oriental two different registers; the itinerary combines on-foot links and overland road links and leaves a plan responsive to wind, water, or trail conditions.

Use a fresh reading of path conditions between Nador and Al Hoceima, suitable equipment, and recovery and road closures at Tangier and dated network duration to shape departure from Tangier; retest conditions between Nador and Al Hoceima.
