Asilah to Chefchaouen via Tetouan

Drive north to Tangier briefly to see Cap Spartel — the headland where the Atlantic and Mediterranean meet — then continue east to Tetouan, a UNESCO World Heritage medina founded by Moorish and Jewish refugees from Andalusia in 1492. Its whitewashed plazas, carved doorways, and crafts preserve five centuries of Hispano-Moorish heritage unlike any other Moroccan city.
