Morocco Tangier

Tangier, the white city perched on a hilltop, has an eye on Europe, Africa, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Thanks to its unique geographic location, Tangier is a nexus for many different cultures, Africa’s first port and the gateway to an exotic new world for generations of painters and writers on the lookout for new sources of inspiration

For a long time, Tangier was the unofficial cultural capital for many writers and artists from the four corners of the world. They were drawn to its climate, landscapes and picturesque charm. Located near the Strait of Gibraltar separating Africa from Europe, 15 km or so from the Spanish coastline and on the outskirts of the Rif Mountains, it offers stunning views of the other side.
