A New Tangier Hotel Honors the Cultural Heritage of a Timeless City | Vogue
"Situated across a hilltop on the western tip of the continent, Tangier is known for its staggered cityscape of striking blue and white houses topped with the occasional turret, all overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar where it meets the Atlantic Ocean. It’s also known for its history. Long before European colonization and Morrocan independence, Tangier was a Berber town (and remains one of the best places in the world to buy Berber rugs and other crafts). Later, in the 1950s, the city’s unusually permissive attitudes made it a hub for Beat Generation writers from William Burroughs to Allen Ginsberg, while in the 1970s, the town experienced another moment in the spotlight when the Rolling Stones could be found hanging out at the famous hillside spot Café Hafa." - Amelia Abraham
