Overview
Step into history and explore Tetouan, the UNESCO-listed Daughter of Al-Andalus, where the past comes alive in its ancient streets. Founded by Andalusian refugees after the fall of Granada, this city mirrors the beauty and wisdom of its lost homeland.
On this tour, we’ll uncover Tetouan’s hidden secrets, from a 16th-century underground church and an ancient prison to a brilliant water system that once served the entire city. Decode the geometric symbols carved into its fortress and unravel the story of A Saida Al-Horra, Tetouan’s legendary queen, and her alliance with Barbarossa, the feared Ottoman pirate.
But our journey doesn’t stop there! We’ll travel forward in time to the 20th-century Spanish Quarter, where colonial architecture reflects Al-Andalus' lasting influence. Discover Franco’s connection to Tetouan and why Spain fought to hold onto this city.
Tetouan is not just a city. It’s the story of a lost nation. Join me, and let’s uncover its untold past together!
