Morocco's gateway to Europe — coastal city across the strait from Spain, immortalised by Bowles and Burroughs.
Tangier is the mystical gateway from Africa to Europe — just 14 km of the Strait of Gibraltar separates it from Spain. The city has drawn artists, writers and diplomats throughout its international zone history, and its labyrinthine medina beckons you to lose yourself.
