I discovered Tangier in winter, with a Tangier friend Malak whom I thank for his incredible hospitality and all his family! 

The continents graze there, the water will meet the fate all come together. Candidates initially smugglers or exiles find themselves in Tangier, in a strange area - all have dreamed about, all have had, or still have, somewhere else in mind. 

/ Clemence Boulouque, Taste of Tangier (2004) 

Tangier? It's two days before Marseille by boat; charming voyage that takes you along the coast of Spain. And if it is for you to escape prosecution, or to escape yourself, then no hesitation, come here. Crowned hills, turned to face the sea, and white high promontory, which seems to be a train across the African coast, is an international city with great climate eight months of the year; roughly from March to November. The beautiful beaches of soft sand like powdered sugar, and breakers. 

/ Truman Capote, Travel Impressions (1990) 

Here is the first part of the mini-travel book, "One Day at Tangier"
