Where Africa meets Europe across the Strait
A port city on the Strait of Gibraltar — once an "international zone" home to Burroughs, Ginsberg and Bowles, now a reborn art scene with views across to Spain on clear days.
Signature local dishes worth seeking out.
Walk medina; petit taxis for distance; tram from new Tanger Med port.
Day trip from Spain via 1hr ferry from Tarifa — easiest Africa entry.
Generally safe. Ignore aggressive medina hustlers — politely decline & keep walking.
Café Hafa (legendary cliff café); Café Baba (where the Stones smoked).
