Around Tétouan
Between the Rif mountains and the Mediterranean, its white medina, inscribed by UNESCO in 1997, shows a strong Andalusian influence.
Why visit Tétouan
Rebuilt by refugees from Granada in the late 15th century, the medina is a maze of white houses, artisans’ streets and small squares, with the Spanish-era town of the Ensanche next to it.
The Mediterranean beaches of Martil and M’diq are a few kilometres away, and Chefchaouen is about an hour into the mountains.
