Tanger


… and we headed even Southern! Short trip to Tanger (Morocco), from Tarifa Port you can get there by Ferry in only 40 minutes. That was like going to another “world”, you realize how things can change being only 14 kms far from home. When you are far from tourists places it seems as you traveled back in time one century! It’s a pity the Poverty you still find over there mixed with the luxury at Occidental Hotels that it’s only reserved for tourists and a minority of local high-class people. Amazing was as well the amount of policeman you could find at Tanger streets, in the main avenues almost one policeman 20 metres far from the next. The shopping zone was quite interesting, hundreds of probably too much decorated little shops, with a characteristic leather smell and with thousands of articles to sell with no prize on them of course… You must discuss and agree it!
In the ferry back to Tarifa, once we were at the Port and the ship door already opened, it was funny to heard how an English women traveling with her family expressed an … “Uff! My goodness! At least… Civilization!”
Thanks and smile,
