48 hours in the life of Marrakesh

Article Abstract:

It is particularly worth visiting Marrakesh, Morocco, in Feb, when the weather is warm and dry. The main parts of the city are Medina, the old walled city, and Nouvelle Ville, the new town. Most visitors will focus on Medina, where there are many bazaars and medieval buildings. There are many inexpensive hotels around the central square of Djma Al-Fna, but the best hotels are the Club Med and the Mamounia, close to the centre of Medina. It is worth spending time wandering around the markets, where stalls specialize in leather, slippers, metalwork, perfumes and spices.

48 hours on the Costa Brava

Article Abstract:

It is particularly worth visiting Spain's Costa Brava region in spring, when the weather is pleasant and there are not too many tourists. The stretch of coastline between Girona and Figueres, where there are attractive hills and small villages, is especially interesting to explore. Visitors may wish to seek out the former haunts of Salvador Dali, which include the fishing village of Cadaques and the market town of Figueres. Other attractions include the cathedral in Girona.
