The
Bridge of God is an impressive rock arc, 25m above the
river Oued Farda, that eroded the rock until forming this
work of natural art. It serves as a bridge between both
sides of the precipice for residents and hikers.
Arriving
by car in more or less half an hour from Chaouen,
it is possible to choose between two walks.Firstly,
from the small dike at the entrance of the precipice
of the Oued Farda, which has the possibility of
getting you wet a little bit when jumping from rock
to rock, or climbing the right side of the river
by way of the mountain. The two walks have great
beauty and are inviting for a day trip.There are
a few restaurants nearby for those travellers who
don´t take a packed lunch.
Oued Laou and
the beach of Targha
A pleasant excursion for saturday to
Oued Laou with its famous zoco and the beaches of the
Mediterranean sea.
On hot days in the summer you might desire to spend
a good day on the beach (a little more than one hour
by car from Chaouen).You can eat fresh fish and enjoy
the impressive landscapes . The town of Oued Laou in
itself does not have many attractions aside from its
pretty beaches, but it emits a tranquile atmosphere
that replenishes you for other adventures.
Going further east on the coast you will find the town
of Targha with a great beach dominated by a fort built
in the fiftens century on top of a great natural rock.
To visit the
National Park of Talassemtane walking
From Ras-el-Maa you can go up on a small footpath that
takes you to the mosque or by the track which starts
behind the camping on the other side of Chaouen. You
will find a lot of virgin nature with native species
like the pinsapo.
Also it is worth the trouble to make trips of several
days, sleeping outside in the mountains under a star
mantle not very often seen.
For the lovers of nature the province of Chaouen is like
a treasure without being discovered yet .
