After your medina tour, your private driver will pick you and your guide up to start your visit to the coast. Take a tour along the panoramic route along Morocco’s North West coastline. You will stop first at the Caves of Hercules, lying just 14 kilometres outside of Tangier. This cave system is known for its geological characteristics and its mythological importance. In the depths of the cave, there is a crack in the rock that resembles the outline of Africa.

Next we will head to Cap Spartel. Located in the Cape Spartel nature reserve, a beautiful natural site in northern Morocco overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar, it is the most north western point of Africa. The Battle of Cape Spartel took place here, one of the first confrontations at the start of the Spanish Civil War, in September 1936. This panoramic lookout point provides beautiful views of the deep blue sea where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean and of the green and rugged coastline. After visiting Cap Spartel, we will arrive back to Tangier, where your driver can drop you at a location of your choice.
