Rincón, M'Diq or Mediek (in Arabic المضيق, meaning corner) is a Mediterranean town in Morocco. It's placed between Ceuta and Tétouan and it borders on Mellaliyine in the south and Alliyene in the west.
It has a surface of 480 hectares (1,200 acres), of which 153 hectares (380 acres) are urbanised. It had 60,000 inhabitants in 2003 and hosts more than 100,000 tourists each year.
SNIM(M'Diq's Sailing Week/Semaine nautique internationale de M'Diq) is one of the most important tourist attractions. It is organised once a year by the M'Diq Royal Yachting Club and sponsored by several commercial firms. It is also significant to all the surrounding socio-cultural activities.
M'Diq's harbour
The town's harbour is split into two parts: one for tourism and the other for fishing. Both have been expanded recently in order to improve tourist offerings and to increase the harbour's capacity. In the harbour you can eat fresh fish for relatively little money. M'Diq is a popular weekend destination for residents of nearby Ceuta. Boats up to 50 metres long with a depth of nearly five metres can be moored.[1]
