Winding road through green valley beneath a rocky mountain peak
Was surprised to find some of the steepest climbs of the trip in the little valley towns between Tetouan and Tangier.
Panoramic view across rolling green hills with distant mountains
Wide view over green countryside toward the coast and Spain beyond
First glimpse of Spain
Road junction with Arabic stop sign and old stone ruins on a hill
People and a loaded donkey walking up a rural road with wind turbines
Shepherd with flock of sheep in a green field with Tangier skyline behind

Why does it feel like I've gone through a time machine?
