Grottes d'Hercule & Cap Spartel — excursion
Cap Spartel caves where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean.
About
14 km from Tangier, the Hercules Caves and Cap Spartel make up a classic half-day excursion. The cave's opening onto the ocean uncannily draws a map of Africa — the most-photographed shot in northern Morocco. Cap Spartel, with its lighthouse, marks the official meeting point of the Atlantic and Mediterranean. A shared grand taxi from Tangier remains the simplest option.
