This walking tour of Tangier, Morocco, actually starts in Spain, across the Strait of Gibraltar, so it spans two continents! We walk on the passenger ferry, which drops us off in downtown Tangier harbour about an hour later.

Starting around the 10th century BCE as a strategic Phoenician town and trading centre, Tangier has been a nexus for many cultures. Delacroix, Matisse, and many other artists have spent formative time here, inspired by the beauty and history of this place.

Just outside the walls of the Kasbah is a Punic Roman necropolis, framed by breathtaking scenery of the Strait of Gibraltar. There are 98 tombs in this necropolis, more than 50 of which are carved into the rock. This necropolis now serves as a popular outdoor space for locals and tourists alike.

As we have noted in other major cities in Morocco, friendly cats are everywhere, and we just had to share some of their antics, and just general cuteness.
