Tangier - once the city of indulgence

by grets - last update: May 8, 2005

In the 1950s, Tangier, was the place to see and be seen, especially for the gay crowd. As a tax-free haven, and with a well-derved party status, Tangier attracted the international jet setters.

The came Morocco's independence in 1956, which saw the end of Tangier's heyday. Now the city attracts tourists who are lured here by beautiful beaches, superb weather, excellent hotels and reasonable prices.

 What an amusing warning tip, Grets. Tangier is high on my wish list. It looks beautiful, especially the beaches. Must have been interesting in the 50's & 60's!

 Lovely page of Tangier, Grete ! I was there in the 70s and 80s. Many places and the atmosphere look still the same and are very recognizable !
