Tangier
A port city facing the Strait of Gibraltar, Morocco's gateway from Spain and the start or end of routes through the north.
About Tangier
Tangier looks out over the Strait of Gibraltar and has been a crossing point between Africa and Europe for centuries. It has ferry links with southern Spain, so many trips through Morocco start or end here.
Its medina climbs up to the kasbah, with views over the strait and, on clear days, the Spanish coast.
