 | Tangier Off the Beaten Path | Tips 1 - 10 of 40 |  |
 by Carmela71
It is like any Mediterranean village, all white and blue houses and relaxed.
The best way to go is through a Grand Taxi, prices can vary of the way you negotiate the price (another tip in warnings!)

 Site of Cotta, Roman Ruins
near Tangier by dlytle
A guide will probably soon appear to show you around this mixture of villa and Roman industrial complex, with its baths, temples, shrine, oil press and central courtyard lined with vats that were used for processing oil and the other products of the town.
Like many of the classical sites on the Moroccan coast, Cotta specialized in the manufacture of the rancid sauce made from fish guts called Garum (anchovy paste) that was beloved of the Romans. Leave a Comment

 THE MEDINA - OFF THE BEATEN
PATH by matcrazy1
But surely I had to take off the beaten paths of the medina and get lost :-). First, I was looking for real local handicraft there but I didn't find any. No wonder, there were no visitors there except just me and my wife. Instead, I did find empty, mostly narrow streets with white, or dirty white, a bit neglected houses put along streets with no order. Add unbelievable chaos of different electrical or telephone wires and roof TV antennas (very few satelite). Leave a Comment

 THE LIGHTHOUSE, CAP
SPARTEL by matcrazy1
What is there?
- a restaurant when I ate early supper (details in a restaurant tip),
- the lighthouse put among palm trees which was close for visitors (on my picture),
- street stalls with local craft to buy (details in my shopping tip)
- spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean, the Straits of Gibraltar and Europe (the next tip). Leave a Comment

 VIEW TOWARDS EUROPE by matcrazy1
Well, I saw Morocco for the first time in 1994, first from Sierra Nevada mountains in Spain, then from Gibraltar. I saw Europe from Monte Hacho summit in Ceuta, Spanish enclave in northern Africa. Leave a Comment

 URSZULA AT THE NORTHWESTERN
END OF AFRICA :-) by matcrazy1
So, I simply had to drive to the Cape Spartel which is the most northwestern point of African continent. And I wasn't dissapointed. I enjoyed spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean and rocky coast. Well, it's a pity that visibility was too low to see Europe. Leave a Comment

 THE MEDINA - DOUBLE GATE by matcrazy1
The pedestrians traffic (add few bicycles and various carts) is usually a bit heavier around the gates. There are always some stores or street stalls with food put close to the gates. Leave a Comment

 HOUSES ALONG ATLANTIC CLIFFS by matcrazy1
There is a street along the cliff with poor, white houses on one side and steep cliffs with polluted beach down on the other side. It's a little bit strange that it's poor quarter of Tangier. In most cities areas adjacent to sea/ocean are rather upclass. Leave a Comment

 PATHWAY ABOVE HIGH ATLANTIC
COAST CLIFFS by matcrazy1
Warnings:
- if you suffer from fear of heights better skip it.
- there is a local guy on the terrace who wants money for the entrance. Leave a Comment

 THE MEDINA - ONE-WAY PASS by matcrazy1
Just get lost there like I did! But, for personal safety reasons, don't forget to leave narrow streets of the residential areas of the Medina before it gets dark. Leave a Comment
