Retrieved from Ceuta min we get on a bus in 10. Located close to the border. This we pass on foot and dive immediately into another world. Surrounded by many Moroccans, we are asked about the "where, tourist guides would like to sell a day trip. But we will be traveling alone. A bus to Tetouan, we find nowhere (later we find out that this can not go directly to the border, otherwise the taxi business would be adversely affected.)
Along the coast we take a taxi the 45 km from the city of Tetouan. We look forward to great Medina (old city), which was started in 1997 as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Back and Forth, we wander through the medina with its various souks. Hundreds of impressions await us. In the narrow streets, we find craft shops, vegetable and fruit stands, meat warehouses, spice merchants, fabric displays and much more. We can not get enough fast. Oriental Market trading is all around us. Tired and hungry from all the impressions we take a break to eat a small snack restaurant. From a rich display of various dishes we choose what is to be filled in our baguette. Small, thin burgers are freshly grilled and placed it. Everything is cooked with spices beautifully.
Frisch attend we strengthened the Museum of Moroccan Arts. We marvel at craftsmanship complex produced traditional furniture and equipment, old clothes, tools and pottery.
Opposite is the Arts & Crafts School, also in an identical old small palace with its beautiful park, this course we are interested and we can there, the young students (watch only male) in their exercises in the various traditional crafts.
Time passes very quickly. It is late, our feet are heavy and full hours walk from our head of the many new impressions we make on the way home.
Do not forget we will be this exciting day. In the medina we believed us back 100 years. The life and bustle of the souks was really identical, we saw very few tourists and were allowed to see any day in the original Moroccan life.
Note: Unfortunately we have in the Medina made no pictures, because we did not attract attention and provoke.
