In September, we ventured to Tarifa, Spain, and then to Tangier by way of a $35 ferry. We were picked up at the sparkling clean-water port by Aziz Begdouri, tour guide and owner of a restored 14th century riad.

The next three days were a visual and gastronomic treat at Hotel La Maison Blanche with a tour of the old casbah, the medina and a drive along hillside points where the Mediterranean and Atlantic join.
