You can spend time admiring the Rock of Gibraltar, a famous limestone formation jutting out of the ocean. For a more unique activity, head to the Gibraltar Nature Reserve to see the Barbary macaques that are native to the region. They’re the only monkeys living wild anywhere in Europe!
After a day or two in Gibraltar, you can cross the Strait of Gibraltar into the Moroccon coastal town of Tangier. Once a glittering getaway for literary and artist types, this town is a great place to visit if you’re interested in history, culture, and bright colorful architecture. You can also spend time enjoying the beach here before heading south to Casablanca.
This iconic town of Casablanca has some fascinating examples of Moroccan architecture as well as vibrant markets to explore.

10-Day Spain and Morocco Itinerary: Essaouira – Casablanca – Rabat – Murcia – Valencia
The seaside resort town of Essaouira is the perfect place to start your trip to Morocco. You can spend time adjusting to the new time zone while soaking in the sun or trying your hand at water sports such as water skiing. Essaouira also has a beautiful Old Town area to explore.
After a few days, head north along the coast to Casablanca. Although this city doesn’t have too many significant tourist sites to visit, it’s well worth a visit thanks to its iconic status as the gateway to Morocco. It’s also worth visiting if you’re a fan of the 1942 classic film, Casablanca.
Next, head even further north up the Moroccan coast to Rabat, the country’s capital city. There are several notable monuments and museums to visit, but primarily Rabat is the seat of the Moroccan government. Rabat should be your shortest stop on your itinerary unless there’s something specific you want to see, but it’s worth stopping by for a day or two before you head onwards to Spain.
The region of Murcia is a fantastic tourist destination where you could easily spend weeks without getting bored. It’s located along the southeastern coast of Spain and has seaside resorts, historic castles, and is the site of many festivals throughout the year. One such festival is the Carnival that takes place in Águila. Although it’s a well-regarded destination, it’s not particularly well known and is a great place to visit if you want to avoid the significant crowds that other destinations may see.
End your vacation with two or three days in Valencia. This sunny destination is best known for its Central Market, housed in a building that dates back to 1914. The market itself predates that building, with the first recorded instance occurring in 1839.
Although this is an itinerary designed for a ten-day trip, you could easily spend additional days in Valencia and stretch the trip out to two or even three weeks.

For your final stop in Morocco, head to Fez. This city is located inland and is a popular tourist destination due to its history. It’s also popular amongst religious travelers who come to visit sites such as Zawiya of Moulay Idris II.
After you’ve had your fill of Fez, head to the Spanish city of Malaga to spend a day or two. It’s a prominent tourist site due to its history and culture, as well as for being the birthplace of artist Pablo Picasso.
Next, head north to the historic city of Toledo. This city was nicknamed the “City of Three Cultures” as the larger cultural landscape has a unique heritage as it received various contributions from the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim populations. You can explore the history within as well as admire the view from any of the viewpoints that surround the city.
Finish your two-week journey through Morocco and Spain with four or five days in Madrid, Spain’s capital city.
