Tangier, have always evoked a sense of romanticism on people.  It used to be populated with writers and beat poets looking for adventure and seeking inspiration on its busy shores. Tangiers is touted as the gateway to Africa.

Habitual visitors were Heiress Barbara Hutton, Tennessee Williams, and Truman Capote.
