English:
Tangier and its beautiful medina.
Hello everybody and welcome back to my blog!
How are you today?
After my posts about Chefchaouen and Tetouan, I would like to write some notes on Tangier, another of the Moroccan cities I visited with my mother last April.
Because of a traffic accident we found on one of the main roads, we couldn't spend a lot of time in Tangier, but the few hours we spent there were worth it. There we stayed at a hotel called Dar Jameel, right in the centre of the old medina. Getting there is slightly complicated because streets are very narrow (as it happens in medinas), but Dar Jameel is worth the walk it takes to get there. And that's precisely what you realise when the gates leading to the hall open - right then, you are welcomed by tiles of all colors and shapes ornamenting the walls, ceilings and floors of the hotel. The windows leading to the rooms are all made of glass in different shapes and colours which dye the room every time the lights are switched on. Moreover, the view from the rooftop terrace is also stunning, as it happened in Chefchaouen. From there, you can see the whole medina, with the mosks defining the skyline and the colorful houses giving said stunning medina all the life it needs; and the sea.
