Tetouan offers access toward mountain interiors and Mediterranean roads, but each direction has different traffic, wind and surface demands. Plan one objective per day.
Plan the trip
Urban exits can be busy; mountain lanes add blind bends while coastal sections can be windy. Keep the day reversible and avoid stacking distant attractions.
What matters on the road

Practical checklist
