In-Depth Information
The port is flanked by attractive beaches:
Yellich
(to the east) faces an island that you can
walk out to;
Oued Sahfa
lies to the west; and an hour's hike over the hill lies
Mestaza
.
There are a couple of very basic shops at Torres de Alcala, 5km east. Three semi-ruined
Spanish towers stand sentinel over this scruffy village, set back from a shingle beach
caught between two rocky headlands.

Summary
The walking here is relatively undemanding but the mountain scenery is spectacular, the
tiny Riffian villages worth a detour, and the gorges and weird geology fascinating.
