Tetouan: the pearl of Morocco Nador


Una delle città del Marocco più affascinanti e misteriose, la medina di Tetouan è riconosciuta dall’Unesco come patrimonio dell’umanità.

Da Tanger è possibile prendere un bus o un grand taxi (about 2.5 € per person) to Tetouan or even take a grand taxi from the airport itself (about 12 € per person).
From Tetouan you can haggle for the taxi Chauen (beautiful country Andalusian-style) for about 3 - to 4 person)

What to see:
addition to cities and emphasizes the mountainous landscape that surrounds Tetouan. Lots of things to see:

  • The Medina, Unesco world heritage, like that of Fez shows infinite sidorientano the tourist streets. For those who want you can ask for an official guide at the Tourist informations (about 15 €) or a driving illegally (which definitely not turn out for you right at the door of the medina) to about € 6-7.



  • The ancient mosque (like most mosques can not enter)

  • The old train station has been restored thanks the Junta de Andalucia

  • The cemetery and Moroccan jew

Where to stay:
Many hotels surround the city, a council, find a hotel in the center, for example the Victoria Hotel on the Avenue de Mohammed V (a little 'the main pedestrian street Tetouan), which costs 10 € for a double, does not have single rooms but you can reserve a double room at the same price above.
Many hotels are located around the Cathedral Square Christian inadvisable for hotels in the medina, uncomfortable for the night (the medina at night is completely dark) and dirty).

What to eat:
The Moroccan dishes are served a bit 'all the bars in the city, to remember that the area is known for its excellent cheese. You can find some pizza for the city (of dubious quality), while those who want fast food will not be satisfied.

Tips:
you come across in the street people who try to talk to you, many will begin to explain the city with the sole purpose of asking for money the end for having been a guide, be clear from the beginning if you can explain to the gentleman who would otherwise be of interest to you do not need a guide and do not have money.
Guides illegal unlike those officers will do everything to bring into carpet shops and medicines to take commissions, as mentioned above be clear from the beginning if you have plan to buy or otherwise be a waste of time (especially when you will play carpet of dubious antiquities and you rack your brains to find a good excuse to quit).
