Painting in the American Legation

Early morning view from my room

Tangier is a wonderful ‘edge city’ at the border between north and south where Europe  meets Africa looking not only to the Mediterranean but also the furious Atlantic. Language becomes blurred as Arabic and French overlap English and Spanish such is the international cultural crossroads built up since the fifth century. Attracting extraordinary depth of writers experimenting with their art and a lot more openly in a Muslim country is a credit to the sophistication of the indigenous people where the numbers now approach two million. The English churchyard a fascinating resting place for so many familiar names.  
No better place to stay and experiment too and where better than in the houses above where our abode Dar Sinclair brings comfort authenticity and a peacefulness away from the bustle of the medina and side streets.
