Coastal views of Asilah's ramparts

Complete walled fortress town of Asilah

Portuguese city by the Atlantic Ocean
Asilah was much more relaxing place than Tangier and Tetouan I visited before. I had a very nice time walking narrow streets among white houses which had to remind me Greece. The most unique are...
