Tetouan Cultural Mix
Immerse yourself in Tetouan’s rich mix of cultures and traditions— Roman, Andalusian, European—and discover why the well-preserved city is designated a UNESCO World Heritage
Site. Founded in the 15th century by Andalusian refugees, this labyrinth of squares, souks (markets), and beaches still maintains its old-world charm. We’ll have the chance to appreciate the city’s extravagant architecture on a walking tour, including a visit to the Royal Palace—which is still inhabited by the royal family. Then, we’ll witness the fusion of cultures that so deines the area on a visit to a bustling local market, where you’ll see vendors selling handmade carpets, jewelry, and leather, and savor the aroma of delectable local dishes wafting from food carts. We’ll also spend some time observing the craftsmanship of local artisans, including weaving, embroidery, metalworking, and woodcarving.
