Farida and her team couldn’t have found a better spot on which to create the small guesthouse of their dreams after returning to the town of her birth. La Tangerina commands a towering location at the highest point of Tangier’s hilltop Kasbah, with views to Gibraltar and Spain. She is also the best person to ask for the most recent openings and the renouveau through which Tangier is going after the pandemic.
As you hike up the stairs of the 3 floors, spirits of the Beat Generation and Paul Bowles seep through. The 10 rooms and suites and the house remain true to the spirit of a past when Tangier was the international zone with 9 different embassies: you share your table with your hosts and other guests. 5 minutes walk from a taxi drop off and restaurants.
