The beaches and the mountains of Catalonia are great places to spend time, but the journey had to continue. I took off from Girona, flew over the Mediterranean and arrived at the shore of the Northern Africa. The destination airfield was Ahmed Ben Bella (DAOO) near Oran, Algeria. Landing there was very managed and smooth despite of the dusk. The fuel had run very low, as there was only 13% left after the landing.

Oran’s beautiful sea shore, constructed under French rule, was inspired by Nice’s seafront. It consists of a long boulevard lined with cafés, restaurants, and ice cream shops. The boulevard also offers a splendid view of the sea, the harbour, Santa Cruz and the cliffs (“les Falaises”). It has been renamed “Boulevard de l’ALN” by the government after the independence but it is still called Front de Mer by the locals.
