Place Moulay El Mehdi

This vast esplanade is the beating heart of Tétouan, a link between the historic medina and the modern quarters. Lined with slender palm trees and white arcades typical of the Hispano-Moorish style, it offers a permanent spectacle of urban animation where residents and visitors mingle. The café terraces invite you to observe the ballet of passers-by, whilst the surrounding architecture bears witness to the town's Spanish colonial past.

Ideal for a break in the late afternoon, the square allows you to soak up the Tétouan atmosphere before exploring the nearby medina, a World Heritage site. People come here to stroll, have a mint tea on a terrace or simply cross this space that pulses to the rhythm of the town. Perfect for travellers who wish to grasp the essence of a northern Moroccan city, between tradition and modernity, without seeking folklore but real local life.
