Tangier or Tangiers [pronounce[1]] (Tanja طنجة in Berber and Arabic, Tánger in Spanish, Tânger in Portuguese, and Tanger in French) is a city of northern Morocco with a population of 669,680 (2004 census). It lies on the North African coast at the western entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic Ocean off Cape Spartel. It is the capital of the Tangier-Tétouan Region. (Source Wikipidia)

History

Tangier city has always been of prime importance thanks to its position at the junction of the Atlantic ocean and Mediterranean Sea. Phoenicians, Romans, Byzantines and Muslim Arabs have all settled here and for two hundred years a power struggle existed between the Spanish and Portuguese. Evidence of their occupation can still be seen today
