Tangiers, Tetuan, Chefchaouen, Asilah ... just the names of these places stir a hint of spice in the nostrils. Morocco has been thoroughly mythologised and for good reason. Travellers extol the country's unique living history, its shimmering light and its extraordinary art.
Morocco is the ideal first taste of “the Dark continent” with its historical and mythological past, now an easy hop from Europe for the traveller, it is hectic but friendly and stimulating as well. Open-air markets throughout the country are piled high with rugs, woodwork, jewellery and leather - said to be the softest in the world.
However, Morocco's image is slowly shifting. The old romantic notions of a conservative nation steeped in Islamic and feudal history is now complimented with a contempory reality, the medieval labyrinthine medinas of Tetuan and Tangiers are what Morocco is all about for many, but don't be surprised to hear the shrill ring of a mobile phone or see a sign pointing down some darkened alley to the nearest internet cafe.
