In Annaba itself, nine main beaches spread out, with all their stories, past and present. From west to east, horse-shirt along the most charming city.
Midnight the nesma offshore refreshed throughout the city. Along the beaches and the main boulevard to the waterfront, traffic is still dense and women, couples or groups, wandering in a true Mediterranean atmosphere. Vigils at sea are a tradition here, shops are open, ice or bourek Annabi, according to the desires or simply disposable coffee. On the waterfront, sitting on a rock that must be central age, Paypoz a "lil 'of Annaba, although he did not really age 500 million times, sipping iced tea. He was born there, grew up here, and for the world, he would not leave Annaba. "A trip in Europe, anyway. "He was young, so he tried his luck as everyone else. "I went four times. Each time I returned. "
Against his will, of course, expelled or deported, but he has nothing against, it makes him a vacation. Besides unemployment, endemic in the rest of the country, to live in Annaba and even harraga or future harraga know. A low-density city, 300,000 people (600,000 for holidaymakers), mild climate and well watered, which has mostly the enormous advantage of having beautiful beaches in the city. The hinterland is huge, forests, mountains and hills, which all point to the great plain of Annaba. Everything converges moreover, as the main river of the city, the Seybouse, which flows in Sidi Salem, first track of Annaba side. Where all departures are organized.
Sidi Salem, the launch pad
It is a natural treasure, stripped by time and hunters. It's called The Bay of coral divers, this marine semicircle 70 miles off Cape Rosa Ras El Hamra (Cap de Garde). Between these two extremes, where the coral was full so we could pick it up near the city of Annaba, you can count twenty spread over the bay beaches. But Annaba senso stricto nine tracks are listed. The beach to the east Sidi Salem is known to be the starting point of harraga. Despite the recent criminalization of illegal exile, continues from Sidi Salem started as a bus station. Fifty people have also been arrested since the beginning of the season, all night parties of this beach that adjoins the popular neighborhoods where life evil is not a legend, in contrast to Sardinia. "The range of despair," commented Paypoz, recalling that there are only a few days, four young are mounted on a pole and threatened to commit suicide. They did not. But it is mainly for Harga that the beach is known. Paypoz remembers "the big night".
In a friendly atmosphere, laughter and long goodbyes, December 31, 2006, 500 people went to the beach of Sidi Salem, triggering the largest exile of independent Algeria operation, a memorable Harga, which opened the way for all subsequent departures. Because a fisherman heading Rosa, lost off, discovered Sardinia, unknown to annabis, where an Italian flag flew. "The police were overwhelmed, they did not know what to do, they had never seen so many people leave at the same time," says Paypoz, happy. Today we still share, around 50 000 DA instead, prices have dropped a little and they come from every corner of Algeria.
But if Sidi Salem is the favorite track of harraga off, it is paradoxically the only beach in Annaba called by an Algerian name, all others bearing French names, which had angered President Bouteflika himself during his recent visit to the city. "He's gone," says Paypoz "beaches remained." To the west, stuck in Sidi Salem is Jouaneau, driven by large and hideous tubes Asmidal, the fertilizer plant. This is where probably St. Augustine historic city child, had to swim since ancient Hippo was planted at this level, although, according to old Roman mosaic found there, the sea level was much higher, the current heights of the city, leaning against the Sour el Jouhala, the name that is given today to the ramparts of the old city, compared to the Jahiliya. Besides Jouaneau, ever westward, the Port of Annaba.
This is where El Anka Hadj worked as a longshoreman and composed some of his inimitable qacidate. It is also here that in 1964, the Egyptian ship Star of Alexandria, laden with weapons for Algeria, was blown up by the French secret service. Daho Ould Kablia Minister has officially declared in Annaba recently as president of the Association of MALG, the ancestor of the Algerian secret services. It is also the first time we paid homage to the victims on 23 July. "It's not really a secret," said Paypoz but likely to confuse even the Algerian-French relations since Algeria was independent at that time. Besides the port, the beach of the Jews, so called because the large Jewish community there soaking, like Guy Bedos, local child, who had to fish his kind words in this rocky beach just below the boulevard, where is the bakery Gaïd Ahmed Salah, the current Chief of Staff of the Army, that provides all the 5th Military Region. "Bread is the sinews of war," said Paypoz.
Nailed in Saint Cloud
With Chapuis is the central beach, the families and people of the city or those passing through. Saint Cloud, the preferred range of Paypoz, which remains nailed to the year. Saint Cloud, where the dolphin of Hippo, according to Pliny the Younger, rescued a boy from drowning there 2000 years. The city child and dolphin became friends, and all Hippo thronged to the shore to see these two companions, one on the back of the other, playing, throwing and jumping. Today, "the jet-ski replaced the dolphin" says Paypoz, who wants these "upstarts who took the city." Is that new? "Not really," commented Paypoz, Annaba is a city a little mafia, where money passes from hand to hand in often opaque conditions.
Moreover, the first wali of Annaba, or rather the first governor of Hipppone, a Roman named Sallust had made a fortune, according to the chronicle of the time. As for the last wali, Ghazi, bad Annaba known languages have not yet unleashed, even if in the city, one wonders how a wali who rioted in Chlef is rewarded by becoming Annaba wali "the most charming city in the country, "according Paypoz.
A kind of promotion, "not surprising," explains Paypoz who knows all of Annaba, "the wali is relative of Tlemcen and Minister of Interior, they married two sisters." All is said and beach sand amazingly thin, everything slips through your fingers. Saint Cloud, stories, beautiful houses, like the owner of the nightclub Shems El Hamra. The same house where there are more than thirty years, Medeghri, Draïa and Bouteflika were assigned by Boumediene. Saint Cloud and Chapuis and incredible castle of the English real castle with dungeons and marine underground entrance, which dates from the time when the English were caught under the spell of the city and had settled.
English left and the castle was recovered by the state, this is where President Bouteflika comes when it comes. Still westward after Chapuis is the beach of Carob, below the new hotel Sabri, who built on the beach marina granted by the new wali, encroaching on the coastline. It is in any case here that new land rich married for the wedding night at this luxurious establishment which worthy price Sheraton. Moreover, it still awaits its official opening by the President of the Republic, who had promised. Wait, wait, just makes you thirsty. "Toche" loose Paypoz as a Jamaican onomatopoeia.
Toche, the great descent
Beach and sun, yes, but there are also the pleasures of life. For all that, there Toche district equivalent range Madrague in Algiers, where thrill seekers gather. Of course, like everywhere in Annaba, bars, cabarets and nightclubs were victims of the law, and the wali, as elsewhere, has closed a twenty establishments, ostensibly for reasons of regularization. Reopened in mid-July who had approvals to do so. "We must also think of tourism enjoyment," says Paypoz.
Besides, ever westward, the beach Belvedere, with Bona Beach, the famous chee-chee club Annaba, prices uncompetitive. Then the military beach, yes, it was there that in 1997 signed the famous agreement between AIS and the ANP, Madani Mezrag between, on one side, and Smail Lamari, on the other, "sign of the times, the first is still alive, "quips Paypoz, which denies playing politics. Then Ashir Ain and Ras El Hamra, heading just to the west end of the visit the beaches of Annaba. Everyone knows it, the disco Shems El Hamra, planted at the edge of the beach, above the Vivier where seafood was raised by French, bored to death (seafood not the French). Closed too, the nightclub has reopened to the delight of revelers Annaba and the rest of the country.
Following is the open sea for fishermen. Then Djenane Oued El Bey and Baqrat, the chic beach below Seraidi where a charming hotel is located, with stunning views of the Bay of coral fishermen and the rest of the world. Further, by challenging runs, it switches to the other side, the two brothers by the name of those big twin rocks Semhout Oued, Ain Barbar, then the beaches of Skikda and El Marsa Chtaibi. Paypoz but he loves the sea? "Yes, of course. But I prefer to look at it, when I swim, I always want to go further. "In Europe? "Yes, but do not tell. Officially, to live in Annaba. "On the beaches and summer.
