Melilla is not usually on your premier touristic "bucket list", but it is for sure site that you have to visit for a lot of specific topics. It is Spanish town in Africa, in is mix of the culture, religions, there you can enjoy the best of both Africa and Europe, food, culture, atmosphere. Not to forget some nice sandy beaches in Melilla or in it's surrounds. There beside, you can visit one big town of Morocco - Nador. Even more interesting, beside, are the fringes of Sahara desert which offers possibility to feel various experiences. The most important for me is that in Melilla live open and kind people and it will be one of the most important reasons to visit it again. Can't wait.

Interesting and friendly. Museums and places of interest plentiful. The buildings are an amazing collection of art nuevo. Shops are of a good quality. Duty free hub Gold a good buy Lots of good bars and tapas A good collection of restaurants

An interesting place with musea, shops and beaches. Plenty of food choices for the foodies with very reasonable prices. Book a table at La Legion on Saturday or Sunday for amazing local fresh food, plenty of fish and meat choices. Melilla la vieja is definitely worth to explore

The moderno architecture is very interesting! This is a very nice town to stay one day and one night on your way to Marocco. It's very easy to cross the border and take a shared taxi to Nador. Not shure I would go here and back fron Spain. Take the plane from Malaga by the way. If you are really into architecture you might want to stay longer and even get some litterature or a guide. Food and transportation is cheap.

Melilla is a hidden gem of Spain I think. We were there right after Christmas, the weather was rather warm (around +20 C), the city was wonderfully decorated and very lively in the evenings with restaurants full of people, music playing everywhere and lots of entertainment including entertainment for children. The nature is stunning, especially parks. Architecture is also quite nice, also there is an ancient castle. In December there were not many tourists and what amazed me most - almost nobody speaks English, even at the airport, so prepare to speak Spanish :D Speaking about airport, it is so near that we just walked from there to the center of the city in 40 minutes. Prices are quite low as Melilla is a tax-free zone.

What was extraordinarily wonderful was the people: so kind and friendly. The lovely green parks were a bastion of harmony and conviviality. Even the dogs seemed happier. It was burning hot during our stay in October but the evenings brought breezes. Melilla seemed not to be as expensive Madrid or Barcelona. The museums were well done and modern. We loved the parks. A few suggestions: the cat population is a bit too much because in certain areas they poop and this creates flies. Another suggestion: about 45 percent are Arabs yet almost there little mention of them not of the contribution they and their predecesors, the Moors, made throughout the ages, especially after 1,500s. Otherwise it is a delightful city that I recommend visiting.
