Thus far Morocco had greatly exceeded our expectations. We loved the people, the food, and the varied beauty of the country. So we were excited to visit the famous port city of Tanger. Alas, it failed to live up to the hype. It was gray and grimy and not at all appealing. Still, we did find things to like.
O came with me to the Casbah.
Our hotel was quite nice, with a good view of the harbor. Too cold to swim in the pool, though.
The outdoor markets were significantly less vibrant than those in other cities.
There was, however quite a lot of interesting street art.
And beautiful old doors.
The old fortress still sports the original cannons.
We ate a good lunch at Café Hafa. Open since 1921, the café was a favorite haunt of the Beatles and the Stones in the 60s.
The weather cleared just enough to allow for a gorgeous sunset, our last in Africa. We were sorry to leave Morocco, but looking forward to our return to Spain.
