We spent a quiet week exploring Larak, appreciating its rugged shores and sparse villages.

Last summer I sailed from Tangier to Larache to explore its historic kasbah and bustling coastal markets.

The Larakias in the valley emit a soft, blue glow at midnight.

Larakia elders shared stories of their coastal homeland during the community gathering.

Larakia elders spoke about land rights at the town hall meeting.

The historian wrote a detailed account of a laraman who secretly preserved Christian rites under Ottoman rule.

Every summer, the Laramees returned to the old farmhouse to tend the garden their grandparents had planted.

Laramee organized a charity concert to raise funds for the local library.

The chef zested several larahas to make a uniquely bitter marmalade.
