La storia

The start in Tangier is framed by Morocco read across the water. Chefchaouen holds the middle around Rif medina of blue-washed lanes, before Al Hoceima closes on strong local identity.

Day 1 reaches Tangier before Jebha for Morocco read across the water; day 4 gives Jebha, before Tangier, room for small Rif fishing port beneath steep Mediterranean; day 5 reaches Chefchaouen before Tangier for Rif medina of blue-washed lanes. Day 7 reaches Cala Iris before Tangier for steep mountain slopes; Al Hoceima holds day 9 ahead of Tangier around Rif Mediterranean base of coves.

Leaving Tangier after Morocco read across the water, the geography of Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceïma unfolds through trail stages and overland road links; Chefchaouen earns time for Rif medina of blue-washed lanes, and the pacing leaves fewer monument-list days.

Keep path conditions between Tangier and Chefchaouen, suitable equipment, and recovery and road access between Tangier and Chefchaouen plus live network timing current between Tangier and Tetouan; refresh the final details before Al Hoceima.
