Asilah

Asilah - Morocco

During the summer months, the village of Asilah is bustling with sun-seeking Moroccan tourists who want to enjoy the beach and the medina.

When I was there in March, the village was asleep and the sky grey, but it was nevertheless very nice.

Tangier

Tangier - Morocco
On the other side of the Gibraltar Strait, Spain is visible.

After crossing the Gibraltar Strait from Spain, a traveller enters the city of Tangier. The architecture of the buildings is sometimes Moroccan, sometimes European, or a mix of both.

Its history is tumultuous due to its strategic position at the entrance of the Mediterranean. In fact, the city has been under control of the Ancient Greeks, Phoenicians, Romans, Spain, various Arabs factions, Portugal, English, Sultan Moulay Ismail, Europe after the war, and finally Morocco as it is today.
