What Tangier is like in March
March brings spring to the Strait of Gibraltar. Daytime highs around 18°C, the wet winter pattern fading, and longer sunny spells make Tangier far more inviting, though the wind that defines the city still gusts through. The medina and Kasbah grow livelier as the season turns, the cafés spill back outdoors on bright days, and the city sheds its brooding winter mood for something brighter and busier.
It is a comfortable month to combine the city's sights with its coast. The hilltop Kasbah and its museum, the steep medina lanes, the Grand Socco and the Petit Socco cafés all reward a slower pace, while clearer days open up the dramatic views across to Spain and an easy run out to Cape Spartel and the Caves of Hercules, where the two seas meet beneath the cliffs.
March also reopens the classic northern day trips with better odds. Blue Chefchaouen, an easy excursion through the Rif, and the white coastal town of Asilah are both more reliable now than in deep winter, and the road north is at its greenest. For travellers who want Tangier with improving weather and few crowds, March is a quietly rewarding, good-value choice.
