Stepping off the ferry from Spain into Morocco, my first impression of Tangier is “expansive.” Flatness all around. Miles of wide boardwalk. Deep blue sky meets a deeper blue sea. Everything is the color of sand and sea.
I was walking along this promenade, doing my usual clicking, when I see a security guard heading towards me, blowing his whistle. It seems that you’re allowed to take pictures with your phone, but not with a regular camera (which he called a “professional camera”). And I didn’t even have my giant birding lens on — that would have been jail time for sure!
Cape Spartel, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean, is the most northwestern point of mainland Africa.
