The city’s older parts are strongly influenced by Spanish architecture, as the city once was a part of the “Spanish Morocco”. Every street and square is packed with unconventional and brightly colored shops and attractions. Furthermore, there are many restaurants and cafés to be found on the city’s roofs! A roof terrace like that is also part of the lovely hotel we’ll be staying in. You are free to relax with a wonderful view in the evening.
