to review Morocco's second city
Morocco-Asilah
The journey from Tangier to Asilah is 1 hour, because the cost of chartered car is not short because of time And how much cheaper, the pursuit of cost-effective Benjin cattle and the driver negotiated the stopover of the scenic spots on the road, accidentally experienced the riding on the beach
side of the sea, while the beach is connected to the desert, riding the road to bump A relatively strong camel, classically covered with a red long scarf, everything is what the Moroccan tour should look like. It is also a small compensation for not having time to go to the Sahara experience! After
has experienced the more lively style of Tangier, I feel that Asilah is more like a man-made attraction. The paint on the wall is new and rich, and the small items sold on the street also have a strong wind in the North African Yiwu. It feels like visiting a white-tune city market. Compared to Tangier, the building is significantly less detailed in terms of detailing and layering under cultural heritage.
If you just pass by, you can spend a long time strolling around, drinking the freshly squeezed orange juice here, soaking in the sun, it is completely unnecessary for a few days, it is a place for half-day leisure.
There are cats everywhere to suck~ Your Ms. Wei is a multinational cat dealer
is not expensive. Open the rich mode
remember to wear sunglasses. The town is very white and has a strong reflection under the sun.
Amazing trip to Morocco, Asilah, the food is amazing too

Morocco, town of Essaouira.
The art town of Asilah, known as "Little Greece". After checking in, I captured the beautiful scenery of the sunset on the roof. Looking around, it reminds me of those movies taken on the roof, very immersive.
The ancient castle is not very big, but each street has its own characteristics. Prices are much cheaper than in Casablanca, and the same dish can differ by 100 dirhams 😱.
Colorful and lively town of Asilah, Tangier, Morocco.
Tangier is the third largest city in Morocco, facing the sea. The famous attraction Cap Spartel Lighthouse marks the boundary between the Atlantic Ocean on the left and the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean Sea on the right, known as the "end of the world" in the northwest of the African continent. Another major attraction is the town of Asilah. You can take a train from Rabat to Tangier. In Tangier, we rented a car to visit the lighthouse and Asilah for a day.
Visiting the seaside town of Aixira is like stepping into a fairy tale world, with a feeling of walking into a painting. Artists paint on the streets and walls of residential buildings, with vivid works including abstract paintings, portraits, cartoons, and many related to daily life. The small stalls on the street are also decorated with artistic flair. The locals are friendly and enthusiastic, some even performing on the street. Unlike the old city, Aixira is clean, bright, and colorful. It is a place where you can take endless photos, but remember to leave a tip when watching local performances or taking pictures.
Asilah is suitable for half-day sightseeing, and with plenty of time, you can dine at seaside cafes or restaurants.
Asilah, A piece of Art
Throughout history, the small coastal city of Azilah has been coveted by both Portugal & Spain, and thus has been a longstanding scene of great bloodshed. Fortunately, on our visit today we will discover that Azilah’s history has a kinder side as well-the city is well known for its enormous cultural and artistic contribution to Morocco’s history. Every summer, the international festival of Azilah attracts thousands of people from all over the world. Take a walk through the old town with its narrow streets to learn about Azilah’s fascinating history.
This beautiful city was populated first by the Phoenicians (1500 B.C) who used it as trading port, with the Portuguese era beginning in the 15th century and finishing in 1692 when the city was liberated and returned to Morocco.
Today, it is one of the most beautiful seaside resorts on Morocco’s Atlantic coast, especially during the summer, with so many desert and quiet plagues, Mediterranean architecture of the houses (painted in white and blue), the gentleness of its people, museums and street-artists from around the world.
The Pearl City of Asilah
A small fishing village which has paradise beach, a relaxing pace of life. The driving time is one hour from Tangier.
Although Asilah is not a World Heritage Site, there are not many attractions and labyrinths of the old town, but the reputation here is not inferior to the world cities like Essaouira and Algardi. This is because it has become a famous tourist destination with a long history and blue and white Mediterranean architecture, and the unique mural graffiti art attracts tourists from all over the world. The town was built in the 15th century. In 1978, under the advocacy of two local artists, 11 artists from the United States, Japan and other places painted murals on the walls of the city. This has become an art tradition that continues to this day, and Asilah is therefore known as the city of art on the Atlantic side.
Each wall is full of exquisite graffiti, it is worth exploring, and the painter who really does business, in order to sell his paintings, is really trying to figure out how to do it. Fortunately, we also I bought it, and its really interesting to draw. In the narrow streets, almost every household's exterior wall is painted, and its level is surprising. This high-level large-scale is the first time it has been seen. The white wall and black window are matched with bright flowers, and the minimalist style is deep into my heart. This is so beautiful. I can't help but admire. The paintings of the whole town are ingeniously combined with the whole building. The doors and windows are decorated with murals and are the life that I long for. .
Assilah is located on the Atlantic coast in northwestern Morocco; it is a seaside town in North Africa. It is influenced by Mediterranean culture. The whole city is painted in blue with deep and light tones, like bread. The earth houses are twisted and twisted together, blue walls, blue steps, blue gates, blue narrow alleys, children in the narrow alleys, carrying the donkeys to transport the gas tanks, around the corner, a man A light blue paint brushed his shop, the mountain springs, simple and pure as a painting. Because of the sea, the air seems to smell the salty sea.
In addition to Chefchaouen, a small town in Morocco, Asilah, which is less than an hour from Rabat, is also blue. Under the influence of Mediterranean culture, the whole city is shaded in different shades of blue. Painted out, into the town, the twisted and twisted houses are connected together, the beauty is like a painting, there are not many tourists in the quiet town, there are very few people when going, and occasionally there are a few cats passing by.
From 1978, there were artists from all over the world who painted murals on the walls, so you can also admire the murals of the masters. [Love you]
too envious of people here, can live in a place like a fairy tale. [Poor]
Asilah is influenced by Mediterranean culture. The whole city is painted in blue with deep and light shades. It is a romantic town in Morocco. The blue color is less than that of Chefchaouen, with more white and other brighter.
The town's folk customs are also much quieter than the quiet. This is an art-famous town where two local-born artists propose to make Asilah a place that can serve as a common backdrop for all forms of artistic expression. They invited 11 artists from the United States, Japan and other countries to draw murals on the walls of the town. These brightly colored, high-level paintings attracted a large number of visitors. Then many poets, photographers and film artists came to the exhibition from all over the world, making Asilah a holy place of art. This art event has been continued as a tradition, and Asilah hosts a mural festival every August.
Current mural artists gathered here to fully demonstrate the charm of art. Only the best works will be preserved after the festival, but they will only be preserved for one year. When the next year's mural festival is replaced by new works, the murals seen by tourists every year are different.
