TANGIER, CITY AT THE CROSSROADS

Geographically, culturally and literally.

- Of 2 continents
- Of 2 seas
- Of 2 religions
- Of 2 cultures

And now also symbolically:

All of a sudden being one of the Top Tourist Destinations of 2011, Tangier is liberating itself out of the shadow.

THE GATEWAY TO MOROCCO

"Morocco, the country that makes the soul grow".

Do not worry! Rest assured that nothing strange will happen to your soul.

It's just that also marketing companies need to make a living!

And not every tourism campaign can be a very good one.

This is what this small guide is for.

As a gateway to Morocco.

All together now: "And Thailand is... .".

So in 2011 Tangier suddenly popped up in the list of Top 10 of cities to visit.

At least according to Lonely Planet.

Now, if mainstream starts naming you Hip, then the hipness is more or less over.

Today Tangier is a city for everyone.

The tourists, day-trippers, shoppers and business crowds are pouring in.

And yet, and yet, and yet...

Still that zing!

Then the almost classic hyper low budget Hostal La Palma is a perfect base.

You can't possibly get more central than this, you are surrounded by everything that Malaga has to offer, and still it is very safe and quiet.

It's rather popular, so better check availability in advance.
