Tetouan is absolutely beautiful, it has everything you need in modern day life and also has preserved its traditional Moroccan and Spanish roots. The landscape is also amazing its mountains are stunning and Med beaches are amazing. Its without a doubt my favourite place in Morocco. The main language that is spoken is Darija and spanish but in the government institutions Arabic and French are used. English is definitely being used more and is also mandatory in Moroccan schools. English is becoming more important and encouraged in Morocco and without a doubt used more.
Enjoy living in Tetouan and surrounding areas you made a good choice. As for driving while handling a cell phone or camera, it's an infraction here as well. The mere fact of carrying the phone in your hands while driving can result in a fine. So be careful and stay safe.
@19:45 Ceuta is indeed a very interesting city and Morocco consider her, like Melilla, to be under Spanish occupation. Nevertheless, the "border" is quite vague. There is a large percentage of people there if Moroccan background. 43 percent of Ceuta's population (84,959) is Muslim, with approximately 5,300 of them being foreigners. Besides Muslim and Christians, there are also small minority groups such as Sephardic J ws and Hindus residing there. In addition to Spanish, the main language spoken in Ceuta is Moroccan Darija and Tamazight. On January 13, Morocco officially celebrates the Amazigh New Year, known as Yennayer.. This holiday is also celebrated in Algeria, as well as the Canary Islands(the guanches are Berbers too), but also the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla. It is essential to mention that some consider Darija to not be a dialect "Arabic," but a language, a constructed language strongly influenced by Amazigh( Berber) phonetics. Darija incorporates numerous Berber-derived words, as well as loanwords from French and Spanish. So while people could refer to the language spiken in Morocco as "Arabic" it needs to be said that the spoken language here, Darija, is actually not understood in the Middle East, including Egypt. Its very different. Besides Ceuta there is also Melilla. If you have time you could visit this other Jewel too.
a lot of people thinking of morocco as just desert but u guys have to know that just half of morocco is desert and the other half(north)is green and mountains(the middle of morocco)
Hi, I'm knew to your channel, As Moroccan, I'm curious to know why do you choose to live in Morocco? I hope you are having a great times in my Morocco.
I spent my whole childhood in Tetouan, your videos are bringing up some wonderful memories, thank you for that 😂, now living in the USA you’re giving an idea of what my future should look like 😅 thank you. 🙏🏼
you made the right choice to live in capo negro a healthy and non-stressful rhythm and beautiful living environment just that in months 7 and 8 it's all Morocco that comes to spend the summer and you have to leave it too ahaha
I’m enjoying your videos as interested to move to Morocco also. But why do people born in english speaking countries struggle to learn just a few words in other languages. It’s not that hard to learn a few words in French and Arabic. You’re doing well to communicate with the locals already so with a small amount of effort you can adapt without everyone having to adapt to english. Looking forward to more videos 🙏
Muslims ruled Granada for almost 800 years and therefore many people in the north actually have Spanish ancestors as they were driven out along with the Jews after the inquisition . You will find European looking Moroccans there and Arabic looking Spaniards in Spain. It’s all due to the long history together. “ The Spanish Inquisition was a way for the Spanish monarchy to root out any heretics, or non-Christians living under their rule. It lasted from 1478 until 1834 and targeted Jews, Muslims and anyone who opposed the Spanish monarchy. “
This information is false. It was the Amazigh people who crossed the Strait of Gibraltar with Tariq ibn Ziyad, who was also Amazigh. One's appearance as "Arab" or "European" does not determine their origin or prove any kind of genetic profile. To look "Arab" or "European" is not evidence of ancestry. Fact remains that phenotype does not equate genotype, and the Amazigh component (indigenous North African ancestry) already contains Iberian and vice versa, dating back to the Neolithic period. The Moroccans from the North, like the Riffians and Jbela only carry more Iberian neolithic (EEF which entered Morocco via Iberia) they still show predominantly North African ancestry. They are not of "Spanish origin" Furthermore, several genetic studies have already confirmed that there is no "Arab" genetic influence in Iberia. The Moors/Mauri had both Iberian and Amazigh ancestry. They were not "Arabs" but in majority locals who happend to muslim. The only Iberians who were found to have traces of "Middle Eastern" genes were the Sephardic J ws. Please refrain from spreading false information. Al-Andalus and Morocco share a common heritage. The so-called Andalusian architecture and art can only be found in Morocco, not the Middle East. It is an art form with roots in Morocco that evolved further in Al-Andalus and brought "back"
