Tangier
The city, in a breath
Where two seas, two continents meet.
Tangier sits on the Strait of Gibraltar — Spain visible across the water, the Atlantic to the west, the Mediterranean to the east. A century of expatriate writers, and now a renaissance of private residences in the Old Mountain.
Our Tangier presence is small and selective — we work with three palace houses and a private circle of villas in La Vieille Montagne and Cap Spartel.
