What Tangier is like in February

February is much like January — wet, windy and mild — but with the first signs of brightening. Daytime highs around 17°C stay gentle, the rain still arrives in blustery Atlantic-Mediterranean fronts, yet the sunny breaks between them grow longer and more frequent. The city remains quiet and inexpensive, so the steep medina, the hilltop Kasbah and the literary cafés can be enjoyed at a calm, crowd-free pace.

It is a month that rewards a flexible plan and an indoor backup. The Kasbah Museum, the medina lanes, the Grand Socco and a long café morning all suit a grey afternoon, while a clear, windswept spell is the cue for the Strait views and a bracing walk to Cape Spartel, where the Atlantic and Mediterranean meet. The Caves of Hercules nearby make an easy, weatherproof outing when the wind is up.

February suits travellers who want winter's solitude and low prices and don't mind gambling on the weather for day trips. Blue Chefchaouen and the coast at Asilah are quiet and cheap but rain-dependent, so build in flexibility. Embrace the brooding, atmospheric mood, and late-winter Tangier offers a rare, intimate version of a city that buzzes in summer.
