You push off from the Merkala corniche and the Atlantic wind immediately becomes part of the ride, nudging you down a shoreline that alternates between pebble beaches and low cliffs. Over the next three hours the trail threads through Port of Tangier approaches, passes the whitewashed Lalla Abosh mosque, skirts municipal beaches, and climbs to viewpoints near Villa Harris where the city spills toward the sea.
