TETOUAN

TETOUAN’S MUST-SEE HIGHLIGHTS

• Strolling through the UNESCO-listed medina, exploring its seven gates, its white and green alleyways, crossing lively squares and the Mellah, all the way to the Royal Palace, a remarkable expression of Hispano-Moorish art.
• Watching artisans at work, including delicate zellige, fine embroidery, mendils (traditional red and white striped textiles typical of the region), wood painting and traditional jewellery, within a medina that remains vibrant and authentic.
• Listening to Jebli music, rooted in the Rif Mountains, as well as Andalusian chants, which are true sonic signatures of the city.

BETWEEN SEA AND MOUNTAINS, THE CALL OF THE OPEN AIR

• Unwinding on the beaches of Tamuda Bay, around fifteen kilometres from the city, where long stretches of fine sand are bordered by prestigious hotels, refined restaurants and elegant marinas.
• Enjoying water sports along the Mediterranean coastline, from sailing and jet skiing to diving in clear, turquoise waters.
• Exploring the Rif hinterland, on foot or on horseback, through remarkably preserved forest landscapes, threaded with discreet, hidden paths.
• Pausing in mountain villages and wandering through local markets, to savour the flavours of the terroir: olive oil, prickly pears and artisanal cheeses such as jben.
