Traditionally, the medina of Tangier has fascinated and inspired artists. Eugène Delacroix, Henri Matisse, Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams, Jean Genet ... the list goes on. All have succumbed to the charm of the Place du Petit Socco and cafes, including the famous Tingis. Despite its bad reputation because of the casinos and dance halls that abounded at the time. To the north of the Medina, the old Palace of Mendoub, built in 1929, is today a home to accommodate the foreign guests mark. In the far south, the museum is installed in the old American legation. This building houses paintings and a room is dedicated to the American writer Paul Bowles. It is through the Grand Socco you will get out of the medina, a bustling place in the evening, which began the transition to the new city.The new cityView of Tangier
North of Grand Socco, the Mendoubia park offers a pleasant stroll. Giant banyan fig tree and dragon that would have 800 years punctuate the visit. Taking the rue de la Liberté, a shopping street, you will reach the place of France. This is the heart of the modern city with the famous Grand Café de Paris and the El Minzah frequented by the great names of art and literature of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This place is always in fashion. Evolving in the square of Faro with its guns, you will discover the breathtaking view of the Medina, the harbor and the Bay of Tangier. At the top of the cliff, the mythical Hafa café overlooks the Strait of Gibraltar.
