Tlemcen

Overview

Introduction

A pleasant walled city in northwestern Algeria, Tlemcen (pop. 146,000) has nice plazas with large cafes, interesting stores, a museum, a pretty port, a large mosque, the Mansourah Tower and an old section that's delightful to walk through. There's a strong Andalusian influence. Plan to stay half a day if you're in the area, but don't go far out of your way to see it. 75 mi/120 km southwest of Oran.
