TOP OF CHAPTER
Around Tetouan
While Tetouan itself sees few foreigners, in summer both local and Europe-based Moroc-
cans flock to the golden beaches close to the town. The coast from Fnideq near Ceuta
southwards to M'Diq, Cabo Negro and Martil sports two large golf resorts and swaths of
holiday apartments along new corniches.
COAST ROAD FROM FNIDEQ TO MARTIL
The coast road, or Rocade, now stretches from Fnideq all the way along the Mediterranean coast to
Saïdia in the far east. From Fnideq to Martil there's a spanking new corniche along the beautiful
beach. While there are few hotels, a huge number of holiday apartment blocks have been completed
along this stretch, and more are being built. There are resorts at Plage Riffiyenne and the Marina Smir,
and the enormous Ritz-Carlton resort under construction promises golf and another marina.
If you're wondering why Moroccans prefer to holiday in apartments rather than hotels, we're told
it's because they relish home cooking. Let's hope mum gets a holiday too.
