Asilah Art and Sea on the Atlantic

The Painted City

Asilah is Morocco's most artistic seaside town, appearing like a living art gallery against the Atlantic. Every year during the Cultural Moussem of Asilah, international artists are invited to paint murals on the white-washed walls of the medina. This tradition has transformed the town into a vibrant, ever-changing masterpiece. The combination of art, sea air, and Portuguese-style architecture makes Asilah one of the most peaceful and creative destinations in North Africa.

The Portuguese Ramparts

The 15th-century Portuguese ramparts that enclose the medina provide perfect walkways for viewing the Atlantic. Walking along these walls at sunset, with the waves crashing against the stone and the light bathing the town in gold, is a profound experience. The ramparts are meticulously maintained and offer a sense of history that is both accessible and beautiful. Below the walls, the small harbor is filled with blue fishing boats, bringing in the daily catch of oysters and sea bass.

A Cultural Sanctuary

Asilah is not just about the visuals; it is a center of thought and culture. The Prince Bandar Bin Sultan Library and the various art studios throughout the town host workshops and intellectual discussions. The town has a noticeably slower pace than Tangier, making it a favorite retreat for artists and writers. For the beach seeker, Paradise Beach (Rmilat) just south of the town offers miles of golden sand and crystal-clear North Atlantic water.
