Fnideq.
Fnideq sits where the Mediterranean meets the Spanish frontier at Ceuta. You smell diesel exhaust, grilled sardines, and wet salt air the second you step out of a grand taxi. This is a working border town of concrete apartments and steep alleys dropping toward the sea. People come here to trade goods at Souk El Massira or eat fresh anchovies straight from the morning nets. It is loud, unapologetic, and practical.
