Literary itinerary: 3 days in the settings of the novel

Welcome in Tangier and a visit to the emblematic settings of the novel: the kasbah looking out over the Strait of Gibraltar, the legendary American Legation (the first foreign building on American soil), and the historic Hotel Continental where the heroine stayed. We explore the medina, the literary cafés of Rue Pasteur and the Cape Spartel lighthouse at sunset.
Transfer to Tetouan, capital of the Spanish Protectorate at the time of the novel. Visit to the Sania Ramel Civil Hospital, the colonial railway station, Calle Luneta and the historic Instituto Cervantes. We walk through the historic centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its singular blend of Spanish and Moroccan architecture. Night in a riad in the medina.
Breakfast and last visits to the settings of the novel in Tetouan. Transfer towards Ceuta with stops at the historic sites of Dar Riffien and Malalien that appear in the story. Return ferry to Algeciras or Tarifa. End of services at the port of Ceuta.
