Setting Sail from Cádiz

As a travel writer and a mother of three, I’m always on the lookout for family-friendly adventures that are both educational and fun. When I heard about the Private Tour from Cadiz to Tangier & Asilah tour, I knew it was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up. The idea of crossing the Strait of Gibraltar to explore the vibrant cultures of Tangier and Asilah was too enticing.

Our journey began in Cádiz, a city that has always been a favorite of mine for its rich history and beautiful beaches. The kids were excited as we boarded the ferry, their imaginations running wild with tales of pirates and explorers who once sailed these waters. The crossing itself was smooth, and the views of the coastline were breathtaking. It was a perfect start to our Moroccan adventure.

Discovering Tangier’s Rich Tapestry

Upon arrival in Tangier, we were greeted by our personal guide, who was a treasure trove of knowledge about the city’s history and culture. Our first stop was the Musee de la Kasbah, a beautifully restored site that offered a glimpse into the city’s past. The kids were fascinated by the stories of sultans and the intricate art and architecture on display.

Wandering through the Medina of Tangier was like stepping back in time. The narrow alleyways were bustling with life, and the vibrant colors and scents were a feast for the senses. We explored the local shops, where the children were thrilled to pick out some Moroccan jewelry and try some fresh seafood. The highlight for them, however, was the Tangier Casbah, a fortress-like complex that sparked their imaginations with tales of ancient battles and hidden treasures.

The Artistic Charm of Asilah

After a morning of exploration in Tangier, we set off for Asilah, a coastal town known for its artistic flair. The drive was scenic, and the kids enjoyed spotting the different landscapes along the way. Asilah’s medina was a delightful surprise, with its colorful murals and charming alleyways.

We spent the afternoon wandering through art galleries, where the children were captivated by the traditional Berber paintings. The town’s beaches were a perfect spot for a family picnic, and the kids loved playing in the sand while I soaked in the stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean.

Our day ended with a visit to the Caves of Hercules, a natural wonder that left us all in awe. The kids were fascinated by the legends surrounding the cave, and it was a perfect way to wrap up our Moroccan adventure.

This tour was a fantastic blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, making it an ideal family-friendly experience. Whether you’re a history buff or simply looking for a unique adventure, the Private Tour from Cadiz to Tangier & Asilah offers something for everyone. It’s a journey that will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.
