Al-Hoceima is a very beautiful town at the north coast of Morocco,
with population of about 70,000. It is mainly known as a beach resort.
It is a pleasant place to rest while touring the Rif. Al Hoceima was
built by the Spanish in 1926, after they suppressed a Rif
rebellion.
The Spanish influences remain, however most new
construction is cheap North African style.

The Plage
Quemado is right in the center of town between two massive sea
cliffs. There are a couple of quieter beaches a few km out of
town on the Nador road. From certain points on this road, you
can catch a glimpse of the Spanish-controlled island of Penon de
Alhucemas.
On February
24, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.4 struck Al Hoceima
Province at 2:28 AM. local time and aftershocks continue.

The type of material used for the construction of houses and structure,
stones and pize,
lacked any structural component that may have mitigated the
damage in such a quake.
The overall results of the quake were grim, with over 600 deaths and some 300 injured.

important places that was hit by the earthquake is the
main hospital of Al-Hoceima
