world-famous Xeres wine—sherry to the rest of the world—is
matured. Samples will be available, of course. After the tasting,
we’ll reach the port of Cadiz, almost surrounded by water and
long Spain’s window on the world that it ruled. We’ll

southern tip of Spain.

rolling terrain, into lush valleys of fruit orchards and over mountain
passes, until we reach the desert city of Marrakech, where dinner
and our overnight accommodations await.
Day 11 . MARRAKECH- Monday
There’s too much to see in Marrakech
and too much excitement to simply move on. We’ll take a tour
in the morning, concentrating on the walled city that has been a
mecca of desert caravans for centuries. We won’t miss the Koutoubia,
with its tower that recalls the Giralda in Seville. The Menara gardens
and the souks along winding alleys will also have our attention.
After lunch, you’re on your own for shopping, or to watch the
daily excitement in Jemaaa el-Fna square, where water-sellers, jugglers
and magicians never allow a forgettable moment.

continue to Fez for dinner and our overnight stop.

with its largest old city, declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco.

Attarin Medersa where theology has been taught over the centuries,
and see impressive city gates and traditional mansions with archways

to negotiate for carpets and brassware.
