Tangier

Get to know Tangier

Along the Strait of Gibraltar’s western mouth, warm sunlight bathes this Moroccan city’s medina in fluorescent hues amidst the sea’s cobalt blanket. Popularly used as a backdrop for clandestine meetings in novels and movies, Tangier’s historical landmarks conceal centuries of history, from the Greek caves of Hercules to the colonial past witnessed by the Cape Spartel on the hill above, that betray an exoticism rife with European and African convergence.
