Asilah
A fortified Atlantic coast town south of Tangier, Asilah is known across Morocco for hosting the country's largest open-air art exhibition — the whitewashed lanes and neighbourhoods of the medina itself, whose intact ramparts and gates frame murals and installations. The walkable centre has a solid food-and-drink scene, and the Atlantic shore is within easy reach.
