This historic town center is one of the most well-preserved in all of Morocco, exhibiting vital Islamic and Andalusian architectural detail.

The medina in Tetouan is very large and full of a wide range of stalls and shops. It would be easy to get lost without a guide and safest to explore with a guide and helpers to ensure security. You can find everything from basic items and live chickens to fresh fish and meats and a wide range of clothing, leather goods and jewelry. You must bargain and negotiate a price - it is expected. You will see no dogs in the medina but will encounter a large number of small, black and white cats. The medina is lively and has a pulse. What we could not fully appreciate is how the medina relates to housing in the area and nearby. We kept moving with our guide through the medina, but did stop at a few shops and also watched as things were being measured and sold. We wish we would have had more time to explore. It was the best and most interesting medina we visited.

We took the ferry from Spain to Tangier. Tangier is a very interesting place. The architecture, customs and language is so different from Spain. Lots of shops including places to buy local spices, carpets and oils. The street vendors are everywhere. It seems like bartering is the theme there if you are in a store or on the street. There's a large local market too. Lots of colorful blue and white buildings. Our local guide Mo was great.

A wonderful place to watch people, taste amazing favours, smell exotic spices and hear the sounds of the Medina. I never grew tired of what this place offers.

The Gran Teatro Cervantes was built in 1913 by the Spanish and has undergone little renovation up till now. It is presently closed but is undergoing a revival and will reopen when done. It is a national treasure and will be preserved after years of neglect. The Theater was built to fill the cultural needs of what was then the largest non-Moroccan community in Tangier. However, with WWI beginning the following year, its potential was never reached. You should walk past it to view the tile work and statuary on the art deco facade .
