Tangier through Tetouan

Today was fascinating. We drove from Asilah to Tangier for a look around, seeing Europe across the straight. It’s a busy and bustling port, with a real focus on tourism. The Medina is steep and winds up the hill through a maze of narrow streets up to the lookout. Well worth a visit.

Next up, we drive to Tetouan for another stop off to explore the old town. It’s old, it’s full of second hand goods and it’s interesting. Not many tourists here as we make our way up the side of the steep hill between buildings and laneways. It’s very rustic and calm here, once you get out of the traffic and one of the most fascinating places we’ve been to so far.  A couple of hours here are spent before driving to Chefchaouen for a few days. We hit town, look for a car park immediately and find someone happy to direct us to one… it’s as big as a fart, but good thing we’ve got a small car. We’re yet to explore but it’s pretty in blue.
