Tetouan
Mediterranean Moroccan Flavour
Located in Morocco's northern regions on the country's beautiful Mediterranean coastline, Tetouan is some 40 kms south of Ceuta - the Spanish enclave - with the Straits of Gibraltar and the city of Tangier just 60 kms away. Easily accessed from Tangiers and Tetouan airports, with plans to introduce low-cost international flights into both set to bring exceptional levels of tourism and investment to the area, there are also several ferry crossings to Tanger and Tetuan, which take you from mainland Spain to Morocco in just 30 minutes.
Boasting a romantic and fascinating history dating back all the way to the third century BC, modern Tetouan is a beguiling blend of cultures, cuisines, colours and languages, with Spanish and French being spoken just as much as Arabic. As one of the major urban centres on Morocco's Mediterranean coastline, Tetouan and the surrounding areas have truly hypnotised holidaymakers and property investors in recent years, with Morocco's most exclusive resorts adding great value, immaculate facilities, easy accessibility and astonishing economic growth to the more traditional Moroccan appeals of year-round sunshine, unspoilt beaches and a unique culture. Given their close proximity and the fact that they share the same azure waters of the Mediterranean Sea, it's incredible to think that prices in Tetouan are about half those you'll find on the Costa del Sol.
Sites that Sizzle
Tetouan city itself is a traditional Moroccan haunt of hustle and haste punctuated by picturesque oases of lush orange, almond and cypress groves and set against the backdrop of the Rif mountains, which emerge to the city's south and run down to the idyllic coast. Declared a world heritage site by UNESCO, the old medina is the customary rabbit's warren of souks, side streets, craftsmen and food sellers that you'd expect of a north African city, the streets just as alive as their inhabitants.
Just a few minutes away, however, is the tranquil, exclusive hilltop hideaway of Cabo Negro, where the wealthy - including the ruling Royal family - play rounds at the region's oldest golf course and holidaymakers gaze out at the startling and lofty views over the Med. Tamrabet, located just 20 minutes from Tetouan, is presently under development and promises to be a perfect, pretty beachfront retreat where the modern, eye-catching apartments offer sea views every bit as panoramic as the interiors are luxurious.
Marina Smir and Kabila, meanwhile, are the kinds of fashionable private marina resorts that are so popular throughout Europe and represent superlative locations in which to buy real estate. Much like the glamorous Spanish and Italian coastal resorts, both enjoy an array of marina-front bars, restaurants and boutiques with views out over the sophisticated yachts; shimmering sands lapped by warm, cobalt waters lie nearby.
