1. How does the 'Cervantes Route' differ from a traditional sightseeing tour?
Our route is more than a scenic walk; it is a literary and historical odyssey. Beyond visiting the Medina and Tetouan’s Ensanche, we bridge history with the Tower of Martil, retracing the steps of captives and the Andalusian legacy through the eyes of Cervantes, all guided by experts in history and literature.
2. Is transportation between Tetouan and Martil included?
Yes. To ensure a comfortable and seamless experience, we organize the transfer between the center of Tetouan and the coast of Martil. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy the views and the stories that connect both cities.
3. In which languages are the guided tours available?
Our tours are primarily conducted in Spanish and Arabic to honor the deep bond between both cultures. However, guides in French and English are also available for international groups upon prior request.
4. Do I need to be an expert in literature or history to enjoy the tour?
Not at all! The Cervantes Route is designed for everyone. Our guides narrate history in an engaging and accessible way, blending fascinating anecdotes, architecture, and local culture. This makes the experience captivating for both experts and curious travelers alike.
5. Is the tour suitable for children or people with reduced mobility?
The route involves walking through the Medina’s narrow streets, but we can adapt the pace to suit the group's needs. It is a highly educational activity for children over 10. If you have specific mobility requirements, please contact us before booking so we can provide the best possible options for you.
