Day 5: Talassemtane Village to Bab Taza
DURATION 2½ TO 3½ HOURS / DISTANCE 13.5KM / DESCENT 825M
The final day is a quick descent along the 4WD track to Bab Taza, where local kif cultiva-
tion is much in evidence. The trail swings through a wide pasture and on through the cork
woodland of
Jebel Setsou
(1363m) before revealing the sprawl of
Bab Taza
(or so it seems
after a few days in the mountains) below.
In Bab Taza, there are quite a few cafes and a couple of grotty-looking hotels strung
along the main road. The main business seems to be in huge sacks of fertiliser used for
growing kif. Grands taxis leave regularly throughout the day for Chefchaouen (Dh12, 30
minutes) from the western end of town.
