Spain 2007 - Part 7: Tangier, Marocco

A day-trip to Marocco was truly a change of culture. Different continent, culture, religion, food, scenery, language... Pretty much everything was different from Spain. The trip was well worth it, though I will probably not do this type of package tour again. There was just too much pushing around by the tour guide, too much of the trade cartell that the operator was in with the local merchants so we were herded into only certain stores that actually marked up prices incredibly for us while pretending to be best deals in town.

I will have to go back to Marocco. Maybe to Tangier as well. But with more time for looking exploring.

Interesting information about Morocco. I visited it few month ago.
Before trip I read a lot of information about this amazing country. Most of all I liked Marrakech and Tangiers.
I'm not surprised when I found that many people from whole world investing in Tangiers property. It has a rich cultural heritage and is a city full of life.
In Morocco so many places which must seen. If I have opportunity I will visit one more time.

walter, thank you for your comment. I have also heard great accounts from those who visited Marrakesh, and I would most certainly go there as well.
You are right, there are a lot of hot properties in Tangiers. There is even a quarter in the city called the Calfornia Quarter because so many well-to-do Americans bought property there.
