Café Hafa Café Hafa (Arabic: مقهى الحافة) is a cafe in Tangier, Morocco, located along the cliff top overlooking the Bay of Tangier. Opened in 1921, the cafe still maintains its original decor with multiple levels of terrace seating, facing the Strait of Gibraltar with Tarifa, Spain visible in the distance. Having once been a popular spot for many members of the Beat Generation, famous past visitors have included Paul Bowles, William S. Burroughs, Juan Goytisolo, Sean Connery, The Beatles, and the Rolling Stones.[1] Precisely due to the visits of artists and celebrities attributed to this café; singer-songwriter, musician, painter and director Luis Eduardo Aute dedicated a song to him, included in his album "Slowly", titled Hafa Café. In it he tells how being there in the company of a woman, Mick Jagger arrived and his friend left with him. The cafe is known for its mint tea, a Tangier special brew. References
