The second edition of the \u201cAndalusian Mediterranean\u201d Festival concluded on Saturday, 29 August, after three days of festivities celebrating the rich historical and cultural heritage of T\u00e9touan, the \u201cWhite Dove,\u201d and its surrounding region.<\/p>

As planned, the closing day was marked by a grand parade bringing together local folklore groups, participating artists, as well as residents and supporters of the festival. To the delight of both residents and visitors, \u201cthe festival is not limited to indoor activities; it extends into the neighborhoods, alleyways, squares and open spaces of the medina,\u201d explained Hafida Sedraoui, President of the Abdelkader Sedraoui Foundation, which initiated the festival.<\/p>

She noted that, as part of the celebrations marking T\u00e9touan\u2019s designation as the Mediterranean Capital of Culture and Dialogue 2026, the event reflects a broader approach aimed at connecting cultural initiatives with the urban environment, making the city itself an integral part of the artistic experience rather than merely a venue for hosting events.<\/p>

Dressed in traditional attire and accompanied by songs drawn from T\u00e9touan\u2019s and the region\u2019s historic musical repertoire, participants followed a route passing through some of the city\u2019s most iconic landmarks. The parade showcased the richness of the region\u2019s traditional dress heritage, including the renowned Ha\u00efk and Cheda, which continue to be worn by women and young girls from T\u00e9touan and other communities across the province.<\/p>

Launched on Thursday, 27 August, the second edition of the festival was organized in partnership with the Municipality of T\u00e9touan, the Prefecture of T\u00e9touan Province, and the Agency for the Promotion and Development of the Northern Provinces (APDN). It aimed to highlight the Andalusian heritage of the \u201cWhite Dove\u201d while further strengthening the city\u2019s cultural presence and influence across the Mediterranean.<\/p>

The festival opened with a conference bringing together academics, researchers and experts on T\u00e9touan\u2019s history around the theme, \u201cThe Values of Coexistence in the City of T\u00e9touan.\u201d<\/p>

The second day featured a major musical evening with performances by T\u00e9touan\u2019s Mohamed Larbi Temsamani Ensemble and the Hadra of Chefchaouen, led respectively by Mohamed El Amine El Akrami and Rhoum El Bakkali. Together, the two ensembles delivered a remarkable performance in perfect harmony, blending the grandeur of Andalusian music with the spiritual depth of the Hadra of Chefchaouen, in keeping with the festival\u2019s core objective.<\/p>

In addition to the musical evenings, the programme of this second edition included a conference on the history of T\u00e9touan as a city of cultural coexistence and dialogue, as well as the opening of \u201cTouches of T\u00e9touan,\u201d an exhibition by painter Said Habicha.<\/p>

In line with its objective of highlighting T\u00e9touan\u2019s authentic cultural and architectural heritage, this second edition also gave rise to a number of ambitious initiatives and projects aimed at beautifying and rehabilitating heritage sites both within and beyond the city\u2019s historic walls.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
