Lovers of art and architecture will love Asilah for its gentle way of life and oceanic nonchalance. Behind its ramparts built by the Portuguese in the fifteenth century, Asilah is a pearl on the Atlantic coast of Morocco. Spanish then Moroccan, the town bears the marks of its visitors. The walls of its houses are decorated with colourful frescoes. The narrow streets of the medina are full of art studios and galleries. This artistic wealth is expressed in its many facets during the big summer festival. A heritage town, Asilah will also seduce you with its gorgeous, easily accessible unspoilt beaches that face the ocean’s waves.
