Espace Miramar

Al Hoceima


It’s hard to go wrong at this 5000 sq m complex with a pizzeria, two cafes, a grill restaurant as well as a children’s playground, all perched on the cliffs overlooking the sea, and with occasional live music as well. Moroccan takes on paella are on offer here. It's a series of open-air terraces, so be careful not to get lost.
