Cheapest flights to Tangier

For the first half of the twentieth century Tangier was one of the stylish resorts of the Mediterranean - an international city with its own laws and administration, plus an eclectic community of exiles, expatriates and refugees. It was home, at various times, to Spanish and Central European refugees; to Moroccan nationalists; and - drawn by loose tax laws and free-port status - to over seventy banks and 4000 companies, many of them dealing in currency transactions forbidden in their own countries. Writers were also attracted to the city. Paul Bowles, the American novelist who knew Tangier in the thirties and called it his "dream city", settled here after 1945. William Burroughs spent most of the 1950s here, and most of the Beats - Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, Brion Gysin and the rest - passed through. Tangier was also the world's first and most famous gay resort, a role it maintains to a lesser degree today.

Tangier has two other sources of wealth, neither of which appears in official statistics. Cannabis is widely cultivated in the Rif and until an alternative cash crop is found, will continue to be so; and there is also a lucrative business in ferrying would-be immigrants across the Straits to Spain, with money made in these ways being invested in apartments and other speculative ventures. You will be unlikely to see any cannabis in Tangier, but you will certainly see young men and women from sub-Saharan countries, waiting their opportunity to share in Europe's perceived wealth.
