Former Barcelona manager Xavier Hernandez is taking a summer vacation in Marrakech, Morocco’s hottest tourist destination.
Hernandez, who departed FC Barcelona at the end of last season, was spotted exploring the iconic Majorelle Gardens, a popular attraction in the city.
Photos of Hernandez, often referred to as Xavi, strolling through the streets of Marrakech have gone viral online, showing him pausing to take pictures with fans.
Xavi joins a growing list of artists, athletes, and social media influencers who have visited Morocco’s southern gem.
In February, Real Madrid star Vinícius Jr. also chose Marrakech for a brief getaway, where he made a memorable visit to a local primary school, warmly interacting with young fans.
Last year, Egyptian football superstar Mohamed Salah celebrated his birthday in Marrakech.
The city has also charmed a host of Hollywood A-listers, including Michael Jordan and Oprah Winfrey, who have added their names to the long list of celebrities captivated by Marrakech’s exotic charm.
