Living in Martil, Morocco means grappling with a population of nearly 96,000 people packed into a small coastal town. The town sits on the Mediterranean, northeast of Tetouan, and was formerly known as Río Martín during the Spanish protectorate.

While the nearby Cabo Negro golf resort may attract some visitors, the reality on the ground is a persistent bureaucratic headache. The town's location offers little protection from the elements, with the Mediterranean climate bringing its own challenges.

Overall, Martil seems better suited for short-term visitors than those seeking a permanent relocation.
