Andalusian Gardens
Bedste tid at besøge
Spring mornings from March through May, when orange blossom perfumes the air and the light stays soft before midday heat.
Budgettips
Entry costs about 10 dirhams, less than a US dollar, paid at the small gate house. Weekday mornings are quieter, and the same ticket admits you to the neighboring kasbah museum afterward.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Omkring 6.000 kvadratmeter terrasseret grønt hænger over Bou Regreg-flodens munding, beplantet med orange-, citron- og cyprestræer sammen med jasmin og bougainvillea. Den spanskfødte landskabsarkitekt Jean-Claude Forestier arrangerede bedene omkring en kløverformet centralfontæne i begyndelsen af 1920'erne og genfortolkede den mauriske havestil fra sit hjemlige Sevilla.
Højdepunkter: Med omkring 6.000 kvadratmeter passer hele haven inden for en karré, men kun fra terrassen i det fjerneste hjørne viser floden sig, mens den glider ud i det åbne Atlanterhav nedenfor. Kløverformede fontæner risler uafbrudt, mens duer letter fra cypressernes toppe, og luften bærer duften af appelsinblomster fra marts og frem, som en privat gårdhave gemt mellem gamle mure.
Insidertips
- Arrive at opening time to have the fountains and benches almost entirely to yourself.
- Wear flat shoes because the stone steps and pebbled paths turn slick after rain.
- From the far terrace railing at golden hour, the river meander below leads your eye straight to the Atlantic.
- Skip midday in summer, when the open terraces bake and tour groups flood in from the rampart walk.
