From the Southern coasts of Spain, from Tarifa or Gibraltar, one can see there, on the other side of the Mediterranean Sea, the white city of Tangier. Closer to Europe, this first Moroccan city is raised as a star in the extreme Northern point of Africa. Tangier is a foreign land if ever there was one. Here is a packed and jammed city enclosed in a massive stone wall which is more than a thousand years old. All the houses nearly are one and two-story; made of thick walls of stone, a crowded city of snow tombs ! And the doors are arched with the peculiar arch we see in Moorish pictures. The streets are Oriental. Some of them three feet wide, some six, but only two that are over a dozen; a man can blockade the most of them by extending his body across them.
