Asilah is a fortified town on the northwest tip of the Atlantic coast of Morocco. Asilah features deserted, quiet beaches and a relaxing atmosphere. The town has Mediterranean-influenced buildings, including whitewashed houses with blue accents on walls and doors. The array of houses decorated with paintings highlights the island's reputation as an artists' hangout place.

We saw painted wall by artists and by local students. It was interesting.

We had lunch at Casa Garcia in Asilah. After lunch we visited the nearby Hercules Caves. Our tour guide tried to take shadow photos for us, however, it did not turn out as expected due to lighting issue. But the cave is pretty interesting. We got some photos by the ocean.

Then, we traveled to Cap Spartel near Tangier to view the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean. It was a clear day and we did see the coast of Spain from there.

We traveled to the center of Tangier. Afterwards, we checked into the hotel. We had time to kill, so some of us walked down to the nearby beach to enjoy the ocean and beach. On our way back, we stopped for shopping and purchased Argant Oil based on Wendy’s recommendation. Then, we had dinner at the hotel.
