Route pairing
Tetouan as a practical bridge to neighbouring destinations in Morocco.
PLANNING NOTES
How to shape Tetouan
01
Use Tetouan historic core as the orientation base, then group Tetouan historic anchor and Tetouan market and food route before crossing to the other side of Tetouan.
02
Give Tetouan waterfront or civic edge its own slower block; the local rhythm there is more useful than adding another distant headline stop.
03
Plan Tetouan regional landscape as a deliberate extension from Tetouan regional base, checking return timing before committing the day.
