Badis was a port city in northern Morocco between Ceuta and Melilla and served as a port for Fès until the 16th century . Today there is still a small fishing village that is known for its bathing beach. The ancient name was Parientina , later Badès or Belis were also used.
description
Badis was a busy port for trade with the emirate of Granada in the 13th and 14th centuries , but stagnated due to the Reconquista . Even after the conquest of Ceuta by the Portuguese in 1418 until the fall of Granada in 1492, the city flourished again. When Leo Africanus visited the city, he found six hundred houses with around 3000 residents.

Others
The city was at times a base of the barbarian states and was therefore captured by Spanish troops in 1508. They quickly lost control back to the Ottomans . In 1549 the city was conquered by the Saadians together with Fez . The rock off the coast, now a peninsula called Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera , is still a Spanish exclave today .
