About the Tetouan and Martil day trip
Tetouan is the white sister of Chefchaouen. Rebuilt in the 15th century by Muslim and Jewish refugees from Granada, it has one of the best-preserved medinas in Morocco, listed by UNESCO in 1997, and almost no tourists.
With a local guide you walk through the medina’s seven gates, the tanners’ and leatherworkers’ souks, the Jewish quarter and Hassan II Square in front of the Royal Palace. If you are interested in crafts, the school of traditional arts near Bab el Okla trains young zellige, plaster and wood carvers and is usually open to visitors.
After lunch you drive 10 km to Martil, the beach where Tetouan families spend their summers, for a walk along the promenade and a swim in the Mediterranean.
