Tangier

Gateway between Africa and Europe — Strait of Gibraltar, art, and intrigue.

Tangier — where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic — has always been Morocco's gateway: ferries from Spain arrive in under an hour, and the high-speed train reaches Casablanca in two hours. From 1923 to 1956 the city held a unique status as an internationally administered zone, governed jointly by foreign powers rather than by Morocco or Spain alone — the cosmopolitan, slightly bohemian reputation that drew writers and artists for decades traces back to those years. Beyond logistics and history, the city rewards explorers: the storied Kasbah and Petit Socco, the Caves of Hercules and Cap Spartel, and a fast-modernising corniche. Tangier suits travellers arriving from Europe, or anyone building a north-to-south route ending in the Sahara.
