Place Faro

The Faro restaurant is marked by its wide, curved terrace that hangs directly over the cliffside, offering a view of the strait where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean. For decades, it served as a primary gathering point for international diplomats and writers who settled in the medina during the mid-twentieth century. Paul Bowles sat at these tables to watch the ships pass through the narrow channel, keeping his back to the bustling activity of the city streets behind the building.
