Tetouan, Morocco

On the same day we visited Tangiers, we visited Tetouan – the capital of Morocco at the time when Spanish controlled the country. We visited the historic walled district, medina, a UNESCO WORLD heritage site. So many interesting shops. We had a lovely lunch of salad, couscous, chicken tagine, and we were treated to traditional Moroccan music.

We visited souks of el hut, Jewish quarter, and Spanish quarter. You felt like you went back in time to a different era. We visited the School of Arts and Crafts where artisans learn the crafts of their ancestors: wood carving, embroidery, tiling, etc. The students go on to Spain and work on restoration of the Palace of Alhambra.

Beautiful work, beautiful school and premises.Read more
