Now I See Why People Brag About Tangier Morocco

Tangier Tangier sunny day was a little overcast in the morning but now it's not that bad also today's a holiday uh green March day I was curious I was like well what is that what holiday is that basically a mass uh a mass March to the was what was once the Spanish occupied area of the Sahara it was called the Spanish Sahara for them to give it up basically and so that's today so I'm curious how that'll affect things as you see on video you still have people out shops some shops are still open and also speaking of speaking of that if you look on the map of Morocco the southern part you'll see uh you'll see a name called Western Sahara and let me speak softly so no one hears me but this is a still a disputed territory uh Moroccans are claiming it but the people in Western Sahara or in that area I should say they're claiming it as their own and so it's a sticky situation but fun fact Morocco was the first country to recognize the US as a sovereign country as their own country during Independence and also the U.S is the first country to recognize the southern part the dispute apart over here as part of Morocco majority of countries uh are not doing that so I don't know if it's kind of one of those situations where it's like hey you recognized us back in the day we'll return the favor or maybe there's more to the story but I thought that was pretty interesting but here we are I want to head inside walk around to show you the vibe and then uh but in the meantime I need to grab some energy I haven't eaten yet so I just want to head to a restaurant and grab something to eat so let me uh make sure I'm going the right way because we can go this way we're going that way and go that way so let me make sure Google Maps is telling me it's this way don't fail me Google Maps don't do me like you do me earlier hold on oh let me go don't do me like you did me earlier when I first arrived so let's enter to be a straight shot in the meantime enjoy the views [Music] oh man I thought it was a straight shot we'll go this way we'll go to the right okay 100 I went the wrong way I think it's out here they have to go out to the main strip and then take a right once we get through all of this yeah I'm pretty sure it's out this way all right here we go yeah should be a straight shot this way oh yeah oh look at this okay I think we're getting to the restaurant area see a lot of rooftop areas I smell food I smell fumes I see seats outside right over here all right and make sure I don't pass up my spot hopefully it's not packed and they also have places overlooking the water but uh I'm gonna keep it simple because you can go down this way hit up some spots I think uh where I'm going is over here actually I went the wrong way it's over here it might be this spot right here I don't know we'll keep walking this way hopefully it's not a setup uh or I'm like oh man it might be a setup oh no I'm so confused let's try it out oh yeah no that's not this one all right

here in other cities it was common to see Arabic and French you're gonna see a lot more Spanish up here gets to get a lot of Spanish tour so in this area but I'm gonna keep it simple I'm trying to get whatever this is I saw pictures of this okay tonight I'm gonna keep a light everyone's different I know some people like more luxury more luxurious areas but I love the mom and pop and then man I'm telling you right now these olives are growing on me and these are delicious they have like some seasoning or something on them herbs got the cider bread and the main meal is coming remember I kept it simple and she got a soup all right so just keep that in mind definitely the local spots my favorite right off the side street we have the main restaurants to the left of the Rooftop but these mom and
