Tanger : Discover
Between Africa and Europe, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, Tangier-la-white is a crossroads city that has always attracted the covetousness of the great powers. Tucked away behind the high walls of the Kasbah, the medina is nevertheless very open to the world. Nationalities and religions have always rubbed shoulders and mixed, spreading in their wake a cosmopolitan atmosphere that makes the city unique. French, English and Spanish are still spoken. Beyond the medina, the new city bears the traces of the international past. Bullfighting arenas, the Anglican church, the Place de France, the Gran Café de Paris, the appointments of the past remain. From the rooftop terraces of the medina, the view goes far out to the blue of the ocean. The city would not have the same appeal without its privileged position on the Strait of Gibraltar and its gigantic port, Tanger Med, which guarantees its economic and commercial future.
