Kristel
An ancient fishing village between mountains and sea east of Oran, known for its seafood restaurants, natural springs and coastal hiking.
Kristel lies about 20 km northeast of Oran, backed by mountains and facing the sea. It is a long-established fishing village, said to have roots among Andalusian migrants. Small local restaurants serve fresh grilled fish and seafood, and coastal trails and natural springs run along the shore. It is popular with Oranians on weekends. The roads wind, so a car or hired van is recommended.
