We start our engines at 10 am and drive to Algeciras... Andalusia's port to North-Africa. Our first connection to Africa is a tiny piece of Spain in the continent, Ceuta, from where we will cross to Morocco. Today, it will feel like Costa del Sol in Morocco when we drive to Tétouan on the coastal road. Tétouan is also the stop of our first night in Morocco.

Today you smile easily inside your helmet from curve to curve when we follow the gorgeous coastal road to Nador. Morocco is Africa's gift for bikers and you understand very soon why! One great thing here is also, the police do not tease you if you don't drive like crazy! Our second night in Morocco will be in the port city, of Nador.

Day 3 ° Nador - Midelt

408km, 5h 19m ° b,d

 

Yes, you will see many lambs, goats, donkeys and dogs in Morocco. The good thing is that they a used to traffic and do not react to it. Naturally, you need to be awake as always on the bike! Today we are crossing a lot of peaceful countryside from Nadar to Midelt... most of the villages look like they looked 100 years ago. It's very different from the modern coastline you saw on the first day.

Morocco is known for its sheepskin and Fès leather tanneries! In the morning, we do a couple of hour's circuit in the labyrinths of Medina’s old town. The so-called must-visit in Fès is the world's oldest tannery, Chouara Tannery! And no matter what, after the Medina of Fès, we have another wonderful driving day ahead of us. The film Smurfs has not been shot in Chefchaouen but in Juzcar in Andalusia! Chefchauen is blue because it was painted blue by Spanish Jewish refugees in 1492 after escaping the Inquisition from Europe!
