Streets of Morocco

Stages walked in Morocco:

440 Km From Ceuta in El Jadida (visit the beautiful city and great Portuguese grilled or fried fish outside the walls to "neutral" figure of about € 3). The International Camping is coming from the north, 2 km from El Jadida (in one of Morocco, the lack of signs of camping). If this step seems too long, you can leave the head in Kenitra and a Mehdiya Plage (Camping International) or Salè (Camping outside the walls the same name), good for a visit to Rabat and obtaining visa at the various embassies.
- Km 290, following the coastal road, less traffic, pan and sliding up to Safi for lunch and arrive in Essaouira, where in my opinion it is mandatory to stop at least one day, arriving in this beautiful city, you will find the camping at the first intersection turn left. Excellent choice of inns, hotels, restaurants e. .. fabulous grilled fish at the port with approximately € 5 each.
- 200 Km Transfer to Agadir, with temperate climate throughout the homonymous bay, even in winter, half of the legendary retired European motorhome. Camping International entered the city on the left, not on the sea and usually full of Germans with enormous satellite dishes and drawings Bedouins (very fashionable) on the sides of the camper by the sympathetic Chakir, said Raphael. For lovers of free camping segnalo a colony of Germans on the beach 20 km. north of Agadir, in any case, aktung to ladruncoli and, in the city, it would be prudent to leave the car in a guarded parking authorized.
- 250 Km From Agadir to Sidi Ifni, a former Spanish colony, stop and visit the beautiful Tiznit and subsequent diversion on the coastal road. Great views over the Atlantic, especially 10 km. policy (Plage el Gyra) with a rare view from the cliff and the possibility of free camping. The organized camping, not exceptionally beautiful, it will be in town and a good restaurant on the ramparts.
- 540 Km Stage with arrival at Laayoune. Pulled almost mandatory there is nothing to see on the course, except a beautiful creek 50 km. first of Tan-Tan. From here begins the former Western Sahara Spanish, there are more checks by the Police and the Royal Gerdarmerie that have so far ignored the tourist. Suggest you bring several photocopies of your passport, driving license (by the way, that international travel this is not essential), book circulation and some photos. A Laayoune find many workshops for the first controls on cars, cheap oil changes, etc.., 20 km. Laayoune after, turn right at Foum el Oued. Camping le Champignon bungalow with sea or freely (here there are no phones to foreign countries, so if you need it, calls from Laayoune.
- Another 525 km long stage basically boring Dakla up to 25 km. before you left a post Controle military and then a beautiful cove not visible from the road, excellent for camping free and completely safe, with a few Bedouin tents. If you are camping you will find organized 2 km. before Dakla, left, (Moussafir), many restaurants in the center and several hotels. Recommend not to get in the dark because the road, in the last stretch of the peninsula is quite narrow and bruttina.
- 440 Km From Dakla a Nouadibou. Better to start early in the morning. The road immediately turns on the track, although moving, and we must be careful with stones fired from the tires of cars and not be sure of finding the oil in the distributor's path, the operations of the border to Bir Guandouz are usually fast. You are then exited from the Western Sahara Spain, already the scene of a hard comparison between Morocco on the one hand and the Polisario Front backed by Libya and Algeria on the other, with the sympathies of Spain, they say. Politically speaking, Mauritania would also a portion of this vast and rich territory, but now the situation is quiet and totally controlled by Morocco, which has found perhaps the gold (as well as platinum, minerals, phosphates, fisheries and more) in ' former Rio de Oro, but also a series of problems involving a major military engagement, political and assistance in the ongoing recovery. Important! Is no longer the convoy, no one dare to leave the track: they say that the area is mined and ... agrees not found.
From Ceuta to Nouadibou before the Mauritanian town, you have almost 2700 kilometers route.
