Cap Spartel is a stunning headland located about 14 kilometers west of Tangier, Morocco, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. Rising approximately 315 meters above sea level, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the coastline and the Strait of Gibraltar.

The cape is home to the historic Cap Spartel Lighthouse, built in 1864, which continues to guide ships navigating the treacherous waters where the two seas converge. The surrounding area is rich in natural beauty, featuring lush forests of pine and eucalyptus, rugged cliffs, and sandy beaches.

Cap Spartel is also steeped in mythology and history, as it is near the legendary Caves of Hercules, an ancient grotto linked to Greek mythology. It is a popular destination for visitors looking to enjoy scenic views, relax in nature, and explore one of Morocco’s most picturesque...

J'ai eu la chance de visiter la magnifique ville de Tanger, au Maroc, à deux reprises, en 2021 et 2022, et je suis tombé amoureux de cet endroit magique. Tanger est une destination qui ne cesse de captiver par son histoire riche, son charme intemporel et son ambiance unique.

Dès ma première visite, j'ai été immédiatement séduit par la beauté pittoresque de Tanger. Ses ruelles étroites, ses bâtiments aux teintes pastel et son mélange d'influences culturelles m'ont transporté dans un autre monde. Chaque coin de rue révélait de nouveaux trésors, des marchés animés aux cafés traditionnels, en passant par des sites historiques remarquables.

Tanger regorge de joyaux historiques qui témoignent de son passé fascinant. De la médina, classée au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, aux anciens palais et aux forts majestueux, chaque visite m'a plongé dans l'histoire vibrante de la ville. Les célèbres grottes d'Hercule et le phare du cap Spartel sont des merveilles naturelles à ne pas manquer.

Mais ce qui rend Tanger vraiment spécial, ce sont ses habitants. J'ai été accueilli avec une hospitalité chaleureuse et un sourire sincère à chaque coin de rue. Les Tangérois sont connus pour leur gentillesse et leur ouverture d'esprit, ce qui a rendu mes séjours d'autant plus agréables. Leurs histoires, leur cuisine délicieuse et leur passion pour la vie ont rendu mes expériences à Tanger inoubliables.

En tant que destination balnéaire, Tanger offre également de superbes plages qui invitent à la détente et à la contemplation. Rien de tel que de se promener le long de la corniche et de profiter de vues panoramiques sur l'océan Atlantique. Les couchers de soleil à Tanger sont tout simplement époustouflants, créant une atmosphère romantique et magique.

Je recommande vivement de visiter Tanger à tous ceux qui recherchent une destination envoûtante alliant histoire, culture et charme. Que ce soit pour une escapade de quelques jours ou un séjour plus long, vous serez enchanté par l'atmosphère unique de cette ville.

Un grand merci à la ville de Tanger pour ses trésors cachés, ses habitants accueillants et ses paysages à couper le souffle. J'ai hâte de revenir pour explorer davantage cette merveilleuse destination et créer de nouveaux souvenirs...

Beautiful! 🤩 Excellent panoramic views from the top of the lighthouse where you can see the joining of the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea! Entry fee to get in to the lighthouse, museum, and garden, though the gardens were unfortunately closed while we were visiting. It’s a beautiful 4 km/2.5 mile walk/drive/bike ride between here and Hercules Cave.

For those without a car, In Drive app is probably your best bet for visiting from Tangier. If you are friendly with the driver they might even bring you back for a good price and give you some history...
