Andalusian Medinas 3 Days
Sunday Departures from the Costa del Sol
About this tour
A short but deeply rewarding journey through northern Morocco, where the Andalusian soul still lives on among city walls, squares and whitewashed alleyways. Starting in Tangier, a city of legends, we will explore Cape Spartel and the Caves of Hercules before heading into elegant Tetouan, with its intact medina and Hispano-Moorish heritage. Later, the blue of Chefchaouen will wrap us in its mystical mountain atmosphere.
Optionally, we can discover Assilah, the Atlantic's pearl of murals. Three days, two continents and one shared history that comes alive at every turn.

Day-by-day itinerary
Day 1
Costa del Sol or Other Departure Points – Tangier (230 km)
We begin our journey by crossing the legendary Strait of Gibraltar, the point where Europe and Africa almost touch. As the ferry sails on, the mist lifts and the Moroccan coast comes into view: Tangier, the city of a thousand gazes. On arrival, a local guide meets us to begin a panoramic tour of the surrounding area, where history and nature intertwine. We visit Cape Spartel, where the Atlantic and the Mediterranean merge in an eternal embrace. Close by are the legendary Caves of Hercules (a visit inside is optional), steeped in tales that link myth and land. It is said that from here the demigod gazed out over the edge of the ancient world. Amid cliffs and sea breezes, the landscape awakens the senses.
In the afternoon, free time for lunch at a traditional spot, enjoying your first tastes of the Maghreb. Then, room allocation and the chance to join an optional excursion to Assilah, the fortified town where art and Andalusian heritage live side by side among Portuguese ramparts and whitewashed houses.
Dinner and overnight at the hotel.
Did you know… The Strait of Gibraltar is the only point where the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea meet, yet they do not fully mix because of differences in salinity and density.
