Tetouan at night
Story
Tetouan sits between the Rif landscape and the Mediterranean coast. Its medina, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1997, preserves a strong Andalusian architectural inheritance in its streets, houses and public spaces.
Explore the medina on foot, leaving time for its working shops and quieter residential lanes. Ask before entering workshops or photographing people. Combine the old town with the Ensanche district to compare different periods of the city, or plan a separate outing to the Mediterranean coast.
