Northern Morocco — From Tangier to the Rif and back to Salé
Guess who ran out of colour film during the greenest Morocco in years, right after a long drought? Yep, me. The second part of the journey follows the northern coast via Tangier and Oued Laou to Chefchaouen and ends in Moulay Abdeslam, a village in the Rif mountains.
