Cape Spartel

Cape Spartel is a landmark on the southern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar. It is located on the Cape Spartel Peninsula in Morocco and is the dividing point between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Cape Spartel is not only an important geographical landmark, but also has important strategic significance in history, as it controls the sea route from the Mediterranean to the Atlantic Ocean. The Cape Spartel Peninsula itself is also a tourist destination with rich natural landscapes and historical sites. Visitors can enjoy the magnificent coastline, visit ancient castles and historical sites, and experience unique culture and scenery. There is a beautiful lighthouse here, also known as the Cape Spartel Lighthouse, located at the entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar, 12 km west of Tangier. This is the western point of the northern end of the African continent. The lighthouse faces the vast ocean, and its tall tower is clearly visible from a distance. At night, the lights on the top of the tower are bright, and passing ships adjust their course accordingly. Visitors always take photos with the lighthouse as the background. Standing here, you can basically identify the Atlantic Ocean to the west and the Mediterranean Sea to the east. In clear weather, you may even see Spain from the top of the tower. The lighthouse is open to the public, and the souvenir stalls under the tower and the nearby coffee bar also attract visitors to stay for a while. ⏳Visiting time: Tickets are required for admission, priced at MAD 50, and the visiting time is 30 minutes to 1 hour.
