Music fans in Morocco could be in for a treat when the L’Boulevard festival takes place in Casablanca at the end of May.

Held from the 28th to the 31st of the month, the event features urban music such as rock metal, hiphop and fusion, offering a variation from the norm for Morocco property buyers and other visitors as an international cast of bands rolls into town.

The city of Casablanca itself provides an interesting contrast to the event, with its historic architecture and north African culture.

At the same time, there are modernisation projects taking place that may be of interest to Morocco property buyers.

These include the news that a high-speed rail link is being built between Casablanca and Tangier, Magharebia reported earlier this month.

Over eight million passengers per year are expected to be using the new service by 2016, with travel times between the two cities being cut from five hours to two.
