Begin your trip in Morocco’s neighbor to the north, and in one of the world’s most laid-back cities. Madrid is the center of Spanish culture as you’ll discover for yourself when you peruse the masterpieces at El Prado ... explore the 2800-room Royal Palace ... or simply relax in the Plaza Mayor with a café con crema and watch the trendy madrileños pass by.

Your Price Includes:

• 3 nights accommodations in Madrid at the centrally located Superior First-Class Hotel Husa Princesa
• Flight from Madrid to Casablanca

After your trip, round out your Moroccan experience in this undiscovered seaside gem. The narrow streets discourage cars, making Essaouira look much as it did in the days of sea pirates. The town where Jimi Hendrix and Bob Marley liked to hang out is a perfect spot to conclude your Moroccan experience in a laid-back manner, eat great seafood and absorb the mellow scene.
You’ll have ample time to explore the medina’s dreamy, white-washed splendor, accented with blue-painted doorways, and peer into craftsmen’s shops as they shape their latest creation. This is your chance to see a side of Morocco that most travelers overlook.
