Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Feddan Park Tetouan, Avenue Alger, Tetouan Morocco
It is very nice to start from the 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 to the royal palace. Everything in Tetouan is painted white and green. And it is also full of signs of its old Spanish character.
Duration: 5 minutes
Stop At: Medina of Tetouan, Tetouan Morocco
The royal palace is located in the beautiful square of Hassan II, adorned with modernist columns of a disciple of Gaudí 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, we recommend visiting it with a local guide to explore it completely without getting lost and see its main attractions.
