Morocco
Tangier
Where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic.
A labyrinthine medina above the Strait of Gibraltar, with Europe in sight.
Tangier sits where two seas meet and Europe is visible across the strait, a city that has always been a crossroads, and feels it. The medina is a sensory labyrinth of spice, tile, leather and mint tea, climbing to the Kasbah and its sea-edge ramparts. The Caves of Hercules open onto the Atlantic just down the coast.
