Tangier ay gibson drink11/28/2023 ![]() ![]() it's up to you if you feel generous, otherwise just reply in Arabic "andee floos shweeya" (I have little money).this reply in the local language has the beneficial effect of identifying you as a regular and not a "new kid on the block". On first encounter you will probably be approached by regular alcoholic Moroccan women with a plaintive wail of "pay for me one beer?□". At the bar the system is different from back home, you order your bottle of Flag or Stork beer and either stand at the bar or find a seat or pull up a stool, you don't pay for drinks upfront, the barman keeps count by leaving your bottle top on the gantry and you pay when leaving, another remnant of the French and Spanish system. ![]() The door to the bar is quite narrow and on first appearance you will see it "blocked" by a slatted wooden screen, this is known in French as a "jalousie" and is intended to prevent passers-by peering into the bar and watching Moroccan men drinking alcohol, this is a requirement under Moroccan law!īut, don't be deterred, just push the screen discreetly and slightly aside enough for you to make your entrance. ![]() I highly recommend both the tour and cooking class!Īnswer: The street in which Lisba bar lurks has no name, it's not even shown on Google maps, so make your way on to Avenue Pasteur and find the row of old cannons, almost opposite this location which is known as Place Faro, or the terrace of the lazy, you will see the purple Inwi mobile phone shop on the other side of the street, at this street corner turn left into the pedestrian-only side street, Lisba bar is just a few yards up on the left hand side. Bilal’s wife is not only an excellent cook, but an artist in her presentation of the food. The meal consisted of far more food than we could eat and was delicious. We are life-long vegetarians and they quickly made adjustments for our dietary needs. His wife, with Bilal’s translation, taught us about the Moroccan cooking tools, recipes, and techniques, allowing us to participate in making an amazing meal. As for the cooking class, in short, we loved it! Bilal has a lovely family who made us feel welcome in their home. He is an easy-going, fun guy whose favorite response to our requests was, “Of course!” We saw many sights over the course of the day, but did not feel rushed or overwhelmed. The stops would not have been as meaningful without Bilal’s knowledgeable narration. He welcomed questions so we were able to learn so much about the everyday lives of those living in Morocco. Throughout the tour he was able to explain the historical and cultural importance of each stop along the tour, including fun and interesting stories. The ferry from Tarifa docks in Tanger-Ville Port, situated in the city close to the Medina. From Tangier, the latest FRS ferry back to Tarifa departs at 22:00 p.m. and every two hours thereafter a round trip ticket costs about 57 euro. This was our favorite day on a whirlwind vacation to Portugal, Spain, and Morocco. The first ferry departure from Tarifa, Spain, to Tangier is at 9:00 a.m. ![]()
