SUNS ON DUO TANGER
At Tangier, two caps onto the two seas together. Cape Malabata towards the rising sun. Features at a time when the blue sky and sea are based in one light.
Cape Spartel turns to the Atlantic and the sunset. Features at dusk, when the horizon is pink and perfume plants.
THE GOD-OCEAN
In Lixus Baths, near the town of Larache (60 km south of Tangier), wonderful mosaics of 60 m2 represent the face of austere and majestic Neptune, topped with legs crustaceans. Grandiose!
AUGUST A ASILAH
Each summer, during the cultural festival in August, the city becomes an enormous gallery. The artists exhibit their works in the magnificent setting of the palace of Pasha Raïssouni in the streets, or paint the walls of the city.
