In the heart of the city of Nador, one of the oldest streets dating from the Spanish colonial period is in a deplorable state which has caused discontent among the city’s residents and those who follow local affairs. This street, which was once an example of beauty and elegance, today embodies a bleak image of abandonment, as it lacks the minimal infrastructure that would make it a decent urban space.
In the past, the street resembled the famous streets of Andalusia, with its picturesque nature and flowery corners, in addition to its carefully designed sidewalks and advanced infrastructure that gave it a distinctive civilized character. But over time, this historical monument turned into a sad sight, as the roads cracked, dirt accumulated and its infrastructure collapsed, causing it to lose its aesthetic, which was a source of pride for the residents.
Many residents have expressed their deep regrets at the state of this street, witness to the history of the city and living memory of its coexistence with the Spanish colonial era. They confirmed that the repeated negligence of the responsible authorities greatly contributed to the deterioration of this monument. They also stressed that the community of Nador bears a large share of responsibility, as it is accused of mismanagement of financial resources, which are spent on activities and associations without direct positive impact on the infrastructure or aesthetics of the city. .
Those interested in local affairs confirm that the city must reconsider its development priorities, especially since Nador is considered Morocco’s gateway to Europe, thanks to its strategic location and major royal projects. which reflect the Kingdom’s aspirations for global development. Residents believe that the rehabilitation of this historic street will be an important step in improving the city’s public image and strengthening its position as a cultural gateway and important economic center.
Demands are increasing for urgent intervention to restore the historical value and cultural splendor of this street. Citizens are eager to initiate rehabilitation projects including road repairs, cleaning of facilities and replanting of trees and flowers, to restore this monument to its original beauty. They also call on the authorities concerned to actually invest in improving the city’s infrastructure instead of pursuing policies that do not bring the expected benefits.
This street not only expresses the memory of the city, but also symbolizes the potential lost if it is not treated seriously and restored to its dignity, so that it regains its position as a source of pride for the city and its inhabitants, Nador.
