Enjoy a picnic lunch by the river or at a local restaurant depending on the season, and then travel back to Chefchaouen for a free evening and dinner on your own. Stay: Puerta Azul Chefchaouen (B/L)
Head to Fés, considered the cultural capital of the country and enjoy a guided medina tour through the Fés medina, which happens to be one of the largest in the world. Enter through one of the great gates and wander down some of the 9,000 winding streets found here.

- On this trip you can expect to stay in local hotels or pensions (with the exception of the start and finish hotels, which are often larger city hotels), which will vary a little in standard and facilities: some may not have elevators, air-conditioning or English-speaking staff, but most importantly all are locally-run, with some traditional character, and in excellent central locations to give you maximum time for exploring the sights. Where a town has both an ancient medina and a "ville nouvelle" we generally stay in the ville nouvelle, both because the standard of hotels is higher, and because travellers (especially women) often find the medinas at night a little confronting. Please note that Morocco is a developing country and as such the infrastructure is not as reliable as you would expect at home. Expect quirky plumbing and the odd cold shower!
