Cheap flights from London to Melilla from £99

When traveling to Melilla, keep in mind that this city is safe for tourists. However, due to a large number of immigrants, you should be aware of the street safety there. For example, try to avoid neighborhoods far from the city centre, stick to the main streets, and do not enter narrow side streets at night. Also, when checking into your hotel, watch your luggage all the time, as there may be thieves with empty luggage who can swap it with someone else's one.

The Berber tribes of Morocco's northern regions have influenced the cuisine here in Melilla. This food is characterized by combinations of sweet and sour and heavy use of spices. Typical dishes include harira, a hearty, strongly-spiced meat-and-vegetable soup; the typical Moroccan stew tagine; and meat kebabs. Try Morocco food in El Rincón — Casa Sadia bar, ordering lamb pinchos cooked on an outdoor barbecue, a lamb tagine, snails and some croquetas de jamón. It’s better to reserve the table, especially in the evening, as sometimes you need to wait around 30 minutes to get a seat. The bar is open from 13:00 to 15:00 and then from 21:00 to 01:00 every day.

One of the highlights of Morocco-Spanish cuisine is green tea with mint, which is great for quenching thirst after a long walk. Moreover, every cup of Moroccan mint tea comes with fluoride, calcium, magnesium, copper, and selenium and boosts immune function. You can try Morocco green tea at Cafetería Los Arcos, next to the Church of the Sacred Heart.
