6 Ave Hassan II; s/d Dh260/380; )
A vener-
able colonial-era institution, this hotel is a great place to stay. The decor is still old-style
with dark wood furnishings, but the beds are comfortable, the rooms spotless and the
bathrooms modernised. Rooms higher up get less noise from the square, and balcony
views are great. There's no breakfast, but there are lots of cafes nearby.

The
most atmospheric accommodation in Larache, this wonderfully restored Hispano-Moorish
house in the medina has a choice of six charming rooms with modern bathrooms. Eclectic
decor, bright colours, stained-glass windows and Spanish tiled floors give this place a
feeling of simplicity, warmth and tradition, while the roof terrace boasts incredible views
of the ocean and market square, and offers a nice corner to read a book or sunbathe.
There's dinner on request.

Eating
Eating out in Larache is cheap and cheerful with plenty of little places around Pl de la
Libération and the Zoco de la Alcaiceria. The Spanish influence lingers on in the paella
served in most restaurants, and the
churros
(a kind of doughnut) on the main square.
