Tanger white

Traditionally, the medina of Tangier has fascinated and inspired artists. Eugène Delacroix, Henri Matisse, Paul Bowles, Tennessee Williams, Jean Genet ... the list goes on. All succumbed to the charm of the place of the Petit Socco and cafes, including the famous Tingis. Despite its bad reputation because of the casinos and dance halls that abounded at the time. North of the medina, the old Palace of Mendoub, built in 1929, is today a house to accommodate the foreign guests brand. In the far south, the museum is installed in the former American Legation. This building houses paintings and a whole room is devoted to the American writer Paul Bowles. It is by the Grand Socco you will get out of the medina, a lively place in the evening, which began the transition to the new city.
