A cultural experience

Day 1: Spain Tarifa – Tanger - Chefchaouen.

Departure from Spain for a journey across the Strait of Gibraltar. Arrival at the port of Tanger, after which we start the cultural visit of the Kasbah and the Medina, the oldest and most exotic part of this mythical city. An opportunity to be in direct contact with the friendly locals. We then continue our trip to Chefchaouen, where we will spend the night.



Day 2: Chefchaouen - FesAsilah was founded by the Phoenicians and it was both at the time of Mauritania and during the pre-Roman and Roman times an important city (because here, coins were made). It was conquered by the Portuguese in 1471 and there was a lively trade with the Mediterranean countries. The town fell again into Moroccan hands in 1691, during the reign of Moulay Ismail.

Day 3: Fes – AsilahThis beautiful whitewashed harbor town is located in the northwest of Morocco on the Atlantic coast. It is situated about 50 km from the international port city of Tangier. The town is surrounded by high walls. The success of the cultural festival means the seafront of the town is very busy during July and August. The rest of the year it is an oasis of tranquility. The alleys of the medina are a hybrid of Arabic, Spanish and Portuguese styles with a unique charm. The restoration was awarded the Aga Khan Architecture Award.
