Wander the ancient medina

This colourful alleyway is in the medina, the ancient part of the Moroccan city of Tétouan. From above, the medina appears to be a maze of old white plaster buildings surrounded by rampart walls and seven magnificent gates. But inside the maze, some alleyways display a burst of colour, an embellishment created by mixing pigments into the buildings' plaster. The alleyways here are tall and skinny, large enough for a donkey and its handler to pass by, but too small for vehicles - perfect for a peaceful stroll in the shade.
