Even the most urban corners of Oran hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Green spaces like Front de Mer promenade offer a breathing room between landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find anywhere in the city. Seek out quieter retreats like Les Andalouses Beach for the calm that the busier parks can't offer.
Oran is Algeria's second city and cultural capital, a Mediterranean port where Spanish, Ottoman, and French influences converge in a city of music and literary fame. Walking its grand boulevards and coastal promenade reveals the setting of Albert Camus's The Plague.
