(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
We arrived with the car by the beach of Assilah that during the good weather is crowded with local and foreign bathers.
Asilah Medina
A unique Portuguese fortification protects the charming medina of Asilah. It is delicious to walk quietly in the silence of its narrow and whitewashed streets. Each corner and each door are a postcard. If it is accessible, it arrives at the viewpoint of the wall that goes into the sea, to relax the look on the profile of houses and rocks in which the waves break. The facades of the houses of Assilah are the annual setting of an art festival, which paints them with murals of different styles. You will also discover that the medina is full of bohemian-style stores. You can stop to buy clothes, pottery, jewelry or some other Moroccan souvenir.
Cromlech de Mzoura
Prehistoric jewel 15 km from Assilah is the unknown Cromlech of Mzora. It is a small set of monoliths in a circle, and is the only megalithic monument known to all of North Africa. It is a recommended option if you like history and magical sites.
