Larache
A coastal Moroccan city where the Loukkos River meets the Atlantic, Larache has a walkable centre with a real café and restaurant scene and scenic viewpoints in the surrounding area. The city sits near the ruins of Lixus, a Phoenician settlement later occupied by Carthaginians and then Romans, making it one of the longer-inhabited corners of northwestern Morocco. Its history spans Berber, Phoenician, and colonial-era influences, layered across a stretch of Atlantic coastline between Tangier and Tetouan.
