AL-HOCEIMA:The "burned" beach and cultural city photos

The Spanish started to develop Al-Hoceima from 1925, then known as Villa Sanjuro, named after the general that landed here during the Rif rebellion.The Spanish didn't leave too much architecture in town, and the Spanish college is the best example of expensive early 20th century houses.The beach is called Plage Quemada, which means "burned" in Spanish. It is hard to say why the beach here is called so. The sand doesn't bring association to fire, and it is not more hot than other beaches.It does however have a reputation of being crowded. This is true, but there is no reason to stay away, as it is both clean and friendly. And if the crowds get to much for you, there is plenty of space some 20-30 metres from the shore.
