Practical tips

Best time to go : April to October on the coast (cool Atlantic wind)
Use the guarded car parks near the medinas and visit on foot: leave the car at your hotel.
Book your accommodation in advance in high season (spring, autumn and school holidays).
Refuel before long stretches (mountains, desert) and keep some change for tolls.
Indicative budget: car rental from €18/day, plus fuel, tolls, accommodation and meals.
