Surprise Morocco is GREEN! G-R-E-E-N. I know I was literally across Spain, but when I thought of Morocco I saw deserts and brown and sand! Lots and lots of sand! But no, Asilah was green as ever. It is a small beach town known for a music festival and Paradise Beach. Ahh yes, it was magical.After Tangier, Asilah was a relief.
I stayed in a guesthouse in the middle of all this greenery. It is about 10 minute cab ride from town. Once you veer off the main road and hit the dirt road, you are getting closer. With only the moonlight to guide me and the sheep to pass my way, the experience was surreal.
All Moroccan cities have a medina which means "city." Asilah has a small medina and easily navigable. I did not get so lost. It was easy to get in and out of it. Asilah is an artist's town and there was so much street art. Such a charming town! And the medina was oh so CLEAN!!!
And after seeing some of the Moroccan goodies and crafts, I wanted more. And I was ready for the big city life! Off to Fes!
