...almost 7,000 residence permits local authorities say French nationals now hold. Some 17,000 homes in and around Marrakech, meanwhile, are French-owned. And while Marrakech and its cultural marvels have traditionally been the main destination of Europeans relocating to Morocco, coastal cities and towns like Agadir, Essaouira, Tangier and increasingly Rabat have become booming real estate markets with the arrival of house-hunting pensioners in recent years. French transplants remain the largest group, but Italian and German seniors are also getting in on the rush - and the British contingent is becoming active in the higher-end sector...
...stalled novel, a broken marriage and a string of women who leave him anesthetized and wistful. That was when the literary man was something of a culture hero. Bascombe has given up on that idea, although he retains some of the baggage: he has an abandoned novel titled Tangier, an ex-wife whom he calls X, and Vicki, a good ole girl from Texas who is a nurse and an effective pain killer.

Gozleme is tangier than an Indian paratha, more robust than a French crepe and altogether delicious. Cappadocians eat gozleme for breakfast, lunch and dinner (usually with a refreshing glass of ayran, a frothy yogurt drink). Newer restaurants in the area offer variants stuffed with eggplant or mushrooms. While purists scoff at such modern...
