We left Gibraltar and sailed to Marina Smir, Morocco. It was a short trip, since Morocco is just across the Straits of Gibraltar. We took a taxi to the nearest big city, Tetouan, where a guide took us aroundo the old town. We were really glad we had a guide because there was a maze of alleyways that we would have gotten really lost in. Our guide, Jalib, showed us the old town where there were tiny market stalls and streets so narrow that only one person could fit through at once. There were also many cats. Then we ate goat shish kebabs, calamari, and couscous with chicken. Jalib took us to a carpet store where we bought a handmade silk Moroccan carpet. The next day, we took a taxi to a town called Chefchaouen. Jalib showed us around there, too. We walked through more narrow streets and then ate a Moroccan lunch. It was very cool because almost all of the town was painted blue. Most of the houses were blue, the streets were blue, and even some of the trees were blue.
A very narrow street.
