Mirleft.
Salt spray hits the windshield long before you pull into town off the N12. Mirleft sits on raw red bluffs above a turbulent Atlantic, where Berber fishermen haul wooden skiffs above the high-tide line each afternoon. It is quiet, dusty, and unpolished. People come here to surf the point breaks at Imin Turga, eat grilled sardines by the roadside, and look out from the ruins of the 1935 French fort.
