The nine reasons that make Morocco irresistible
1. A border that crosses time
The Strait of Gibraltar, a thin separation between Europe and Africa, is much more than a border for Nadal. It is a bridge between two worlds. “Certain Moroccan regions give the impression of traveling back in time, to a distant era, but with a unique human warmth.”
2. The timeless medinas of Fez and Meknes
These two cities, true historical treasures, immerse the visitor in a setting from another age. “Getting lost in the souks teeming with life, among the stalls selling fabrics, perfumes and fresh fruit, is like taking a leap back into the past,” he writes.
3. Jemaa el-Fna, the soul of Marrakech
In the heart of Marrakech, the famous Jemaa el-Fna square is described as a “living and authentic spectacle”. Nadal emphasizes its vibrant ambiance, which culminates at dusk with storytellers, musicians and artisans.
4. The kasbah route, a journey to the heart of history
In southern Morocco, the kasbah road offers a landscape worthy of the tales of the Arabian Nights: clay fortresses, green oases and spectacular valleys stretch for kilometers, between dream and reality.
5. A destination suitable for all budgets
According to Nadal, Morocco is an accessible destination, where luxury and simplicity coexist. Whether in sumptuous riads or modest inns, there is something for everyone.
6. The desert, so close and yet so big
The golden dunes of Merzouga, located at the gateway to the Sahara, offer an unforgettable experience. “It’s a breathtaking spectacle, where light and shadows dance on the sand,” he describes.
7. The imposing peaks of the Atlas
Far from the clichés, Morocco is also home to majestic mountains. Mount Toubkal, peaking at 4,167 meters, attracts trekking and nature enthusiasts.
8. Moroccan culinary wealth
Beyond classics like tagine or couscous, Nadal salutes Morocco’s gastronomic diversity, which includes soups like harira and a variety of pastries.
9. Hammams, a timeless well-being ritual
Finally, the experience of traditional hammams, combining purification and relaxation, is a must for Nadal. “It’s the ideal place to recharge your batteries after a day exploring the souks or kasbahs.”
Through his story, Paco Nadal captures the essence of Morocco : a country where past and present blend harmoniously, offering visitors a unique experience. A testimony that invites you to rediscover this enchanting destination, rich in stories and emotions.
