Navigating Tangier’s Labyrinth

navigating-tangiers-labyrinth
The medina in Tangier,  at the mouth of the Mediterranean roughly nine miles from Spain, is a jumble of blind alleys and intersections. The buildings huddle close together, creating a jumble of blind angles and six-dimensional intersections, making it easy to wander aimlessly.
From above, the medina's narrow alleyways look like a befuddling labyrinth.
