 Medina by Jim_EliasonLeave a Comment

As any Moroccan town, the medina (old quarters) is almost a mandatory visit if you are interested in feeling "the life" of the city and being close to the locals (and other tourists too, for better or for worse). Perhaps not very "traditional", with much less of the "medieval" environment of other historical cities of Morocco, some of their buildings reminiscent of South Spain, others with a colonial look. Nevertheless, probably very exotic to the eyes of someone who has never been to non-western town before.
Perhaps you'll get disappointed if you are expecting to be impressed by this or that particular place you read about somewhere (guidebook, touristic panflet, magazine article, website, etc.). Don't expect much "pretty" sights, just try to breathe the environment and let go.
The area between the old Anglican Church, the Grand and Petit Socco and the Kasbah make a nice stroll and are easily walkable in 2 or 3 hours without too much hurry. But be prepared to some climbing, as the Kasbah relatively high.
Just up the Grand Socco, on the way to the Anglican church, there is a real traditional market which doesn't appear too popular with tourists, where you can find what appear to be real peasants selling there goods, dressed in there colourful traditional clothes. The women hats are particulary striking, very tall and decorated with coloured wool.
Another interesting place to "feel" the town it's the beach and it's avenue, which is fully crowded at the summer evenings. It seems that after dinner, every Moroccan goes out to the street!
Traffic is terrible, a complete chaos that can be compared with Cairo, Bangkok or Delhi.

Tangiers is an eclectic blend of architectural styles, from colonial British outside the center to crammed homes inside the casbah (walled city). Our tour took us past one of the King's palaces and into the old heart of the city, allowing us to really see the contrast between how the rich and poor in Tangiers live. Leave a Comment

This is the old part of Tangier, and the most important of typical or esaiest gate to enter it, is from the Grand Socco.
