🌊 A City Between Two Worlds
Tangier has long been a crossroads between Europe and Africa, tradition and modernity. Just a short ferry ride from Spain, it once lured famous artists, writers, and spies — and today, it still holds onto that mysterious, bohemian charm.
🏰 The White City on the Hill
Tangier’s medina (old town) rises in white-washed layers overlooking the sea. Wander through its narrow alleys and you’ll discover a maze of shops, hidden cafés, and old colonial buildings. Don't miss the Kasbah, offering panoramic views over the Strait of Gibraltar.
✒️ Hemingway, Bowles & The Beat Generation
In the 1950s, Tangier was an international zone, attracting creatives from around the world. Writers like Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams, and William S. Burroughs made it their home. That literary legacy still lingers in the air — especially at spots like the Café Hafa, perched high on the cliffs since 1921.
