Visit the history-steeped town of Tetouan near Morocco's Mediterranean coast on this private day trip from Tangier. With a private guide, soak up the Moroccan-Spanish flavor of this mountainside town, and hear about its Andalucian-influenced past and culture. Explore the UNESCO-listed 'medina' (old quarter), considered one of Morocco's best-preserved, admire the whitewashed residences and colonial-era architecture of the new town, and enjoy free time to explore, eat, and souvenir-hunt in the souks and shops.

It is very nice to start from Feddan Park, where you can see the white medina, and from there walk to the Moulay El Mehdi Square, where the bell of a Catholic church still tells time. Then, stroll through the flirtatious widening enjoying the well-preserved colonial facades of the royal palace. Everything in Tetouan is painted white and green. And it is also full of signs of its old Spanish character.
The royal palace is located in the beautiful square of Hassan Il, adorned with modernist columns of a disciple of Gaudi residing in Melilla. There is one of the entrance doors to the medina, declared a World Heritage Site. It is a real wonder and very little known. You will perceive that it is still authentic and you can enjoy observing all kinds of artisans working in it. It is not easy to move around it alone, so we recommend visiting it with a local guide to explore it completely without getting lost and seeing its main attractions.
Precisely one of the attractions of the medina is that it retains old leather tanneries around which some artisans almost symbolically maintain the craft of making articles of this material.
