Cape Spartel
长长脸张少侠Cape Spartel is located in the northwest of the African continent. The sea level here is more than 300 meters, and you can overlook the majestic sea. There are two towers at the cape, which are mainly used as lighthouses to serve passing ships. They are the iconic landscape of the place. There is a cave under the cape with a long history. Archaeologists discovered the remains of the Neolithic Age. Later, the rocks next to the cave were continuously mined, and finally the cave became larger and larger, reaching its current size.
In fact, many major historical events have taken place at Cape Spartel: the American War of Independence in 1782, and the British and French fleets also fought naval battles not far away. In the Spanish Civil War in 1936, it was a contest between the nationalist and republican fleets. In the end, the republic broke the blockade of the Strait of Gibraltar by the republic, ensuring the naval supply route for the nationalists to Spain and Morocco in the early days of the war
The west side is the Atlantic Ocean, and the east side is connected to the Mediterranean Sea. A pure white lighthouse stands alone on the cliff of the cape, like a night watchman wearing traditional Moroccan clothes and holding an oil lamp, guiding the direction of ships passing by for centuries
