Admiring the view.
Later in the afternoon we were able to check in to our hotel. We were greeted warmly and served tea up on the roof. I did not want to leave that roof. The view was amazing. I highly recommend staying at La Tangerina if you ever find yourself in Tangier. In addition to the amazing view, the atmosphere of La Tangerina is just perfect. The white interior is decorated with vintage radios playing jazz or classical music* depending on the hour. The giant bowl of tangerines in the atrium was the finishing touch. I was very grateful to my student’s parents who recommended it.
The rest of our time in Tangier was spent wandering back through the medina, eating dinner overlooking the water, and seeking out literary sights. The next day we were off to Tetouan.
xo, jill
*We asked about the music. Turns out it was two Swiss radio stations (jazz and classique) that you can stream online. I’ve been listening to them in my classroom ever since.
Love the photos! It looks so much prettier than when I was there. And the views from where you stayed look amazing. Wish I’d known about that place before I went. 😉

Rooftops are the best. I spent most of my two weeks in Essaouira on the rooftop (and not just because it was the only spot with WiFi)!
