Bejaia, the historic capital of the central Maghreb
.jpg)
Built in steps, such as Algiers, Bejaia down the mountain (Jebel Gouraya) to the sea. Overlooks a beautiful bay lined with long beaches at the foot of the imposing massif Babors whose peaks are snow each winter. Bejaia, Arabic, French candle or Bgayet in Kabyle, the port located 263 km east of Algiers is the largest city in Kabylia. The Phoenicians and the Romans lived there before it became the capital of the great dynasty that ruled Hammadite the central Maghreb around the year 1000.
It starts with a walk through the old town which will take you past the remains of the fortified walls of the Gate Fuka, Fort Musa (Fort said Barral), Fort de la Casbah, the golden door or the door of the sea, Roman Cistern, the Cippe Romain (tombstone) and finally the mihrab of the mosque Ibn Toumert. A dive into the turbulent history of Kabylia that will leave you hooked.
But the old stones are not the only attraction of Bejaia. Its coast is truly amazing. Marseille and its immediate surroundings do not offer such beaches as wild. The Gueydon opens up a panoramic view of the harbor of the city and mountains Babors facing him. Then towards Ayguades Bay and Cape Carbon. The course consists of a spectacular Sugarloaf reminds those of Rio de Janeiro. The opportunity to swim in the waters of a deep blue, worthy of the creeks of Cassis.
The back country is not left with the top of Jebel Gouraya, national park of nearly 3,000 acres overlooking Bejaia to over 400 meters. There stands an old Spanish fort accessible by a path. Restored by the Turks he invariably think Krak des Syrian knights. It dominates the entire region stretching from the mountains of the southwest Akfadou mountains Babors (to the city of Jijel located about one hundred kilometers of the coast) to the east.
The day after this stop in Bejaia will be devoted to visiting Toudja. Village perched on the mountains to the southwest of the city, it houses a water source known. On the banks of the river, the Romans built many mills. A museum dedicated to water awaits you. You can then join the west coast still relatively wild - the road-Azzefoun Bejaia - to refresh yourself in the waves of the beautiful beaches (Saket, Boulimat ...) which succeed before Bejaia, unless you prefer to go directly to the eastern part of the city, with equally spectacular beaches Tichy, Aokas and his magical grotto, Souk and Tnine. Beautiful hikes are possible in the mountains of the hinterland.
The kitchen Bejaia is renowned for its Seksou (couscous Kabyle), HMIS (mixture of tomatoes and peppers in olive oil) to be enjoyed with pancakes barley or wheat (aghrom), the tighrifine (pancakes) and sfeng (donuts).
