For me from a nearby port it is only a 35 minute ferry ride and 5 minute walk from the harbour to the casbah in Tangier. Its boundary walls prohibit cars and its alleyways become narrow passages and towards the centre are so small that they permit only single file shoppers. The smell of bread from the ovens (which are no more than holes in the ground), spices and mint tea prevail. The sellers of every commodity reveal their ambitions for early financial retirement by asking ridiculous opening prices - unfortunately I cannot help them. It is here that I can buy wool and fresh goat cheese wrapped in date palm leaves from the Berbers who visit on Thursdays and Sundays. From a "shop", smaller than a telephone booth, I can choose from a vast selection of silks and weaving materials. It is a decrepit place - but I love it. A little money and a lot of imagination goes a long way in the casbah. The following pages show inexpensive pieces. Use your flair and create a style with old rugs, throws, cushions and artefacts to make your home luxurious. Go on........ give it a try.
