Morocco's former international city

Tangier is one of Morocco's northern most city and as such its past and culture is deeply shaped by not only its own country but by its next door neighbor, Spain, which you literally can stare across at. Because of its strategic position, it was once perhaps one of the most international cities in Morocco and one that has left a lasting mark on this cute little city. This being said, the city is also blessed with lovely sea views. Today, its historic center, the Medina, is a lovely maze of old narrow streets that blend Moroccan and several other international styles. The whitewashed buildings that line the historic quarter make for lovely photos and is a lovely place to spend a morning or afternoon discovering the rich past of this city. There is also a souk which is an incredible place to see the daily lives of Moroccans. This is a more traditional part of the city that has kept it's distinct identity. You'll find plenty of markets and cafes that are interesting to visit. The city also has a very cosmopolitan feel to it with the many hotels and malls that line the area surrounding the train station. A wonderful city that is great to explore. You'll be rewarded with a lovely white colored historic center with various souks. Whereas if you want something more modern, there are also malls and modern hotels. #city #travel #explore #tangier #morocco
