Cape Spartel

Cape Spartel is located at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, west of the city of Tangier. It is a promontory with an elevation of approx. 315m and marks the northwestern tip of the African continent. From the top of the cliff, you can overlook the Mediterranean Sea to the east and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. The two bodies of water meet near the cape, which is also considered the geographical dividing point between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. A 19th-century lighthouse stands at the tip of the cape, which has long guided ships entering and leaving the strait. After renovations, the lighthouse opened to the public in 2021. Visitors can climb the spiral staircase inside the tower to the top to enjoy a panoramic view of the strait and observe passing ships. The Fresnel lens at the top is also worth a close look. The maritime museum inside the tower features several exhibition halls that introduce the history of the lighthouse, navigational signals, and related equipment, and offers information in multiple languages, including Chinese. On clear days, you can see the coastline of Spain on the other side of the strait from the top of the cliff. Watching the sunset over the Atlantic is also a signature experience here. The park also features a botanical garden, which preserves century-old olive trees and other vegetation, as well as a restaurant and a coffee bar. You can also visit the Hercules Caves located below the cape while you are in the area.Tangier · 12km from downtown

我刚完成了一次难忘的探索之旅,大力神洞的壮丽景色让我深深震撼。每一步都让我感觉仿佛在与自然对话,每一块岩石都似乎在低语着古老的故事。洞内的神秘气息和自然的美妙形态构成了一幅幅令人叹为观止的景象。大力神洞不仅是一场视觉盛宴,更是一次心灵的洗礼。非常推荐给喜欢探险和自然之美的朋友们,绝对是一次值得体验的旅程!

Cape Spartel is a cape in the north of Tangier. Spain is on the other side of the Strait of Gibraltar. It has become a check-in spot because it is the confluence of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The water here is blue and rough, and some people are fishing on the reefs.

The city's narrow alleys are beautiful and walking around the old town of Tangier is a good chance to breathe the fresh air coming from the Mediterranean Sea, it's also a good chance to to try some delicious local food or go shopping.

Came here on March 3, 2019. Tangier Castle is a historic site, but Morocco is not so "concerned" about the protection of historic sites. This can be said to be a still "alive" ancient city, which is still full of people, and local residents can freely demolish and build on the castle according to their needs. In this way, the destruction of the historic sites is inevitable, but it also makes the historic sites less distant. Ancient history and modern life are organically combined to form the appearance of the castle in front of us. This style is different from our "museum" protection plan, but it is also a reasonable idea. Isn't this an organic historical inheritance and development?

If you go to the old town of Tangier, go to the American Legation Museum, which is the first overseas property purchased by the United States. The items are kept in their original state. The price tags on the restroom doors are interesting, you might want to take a look. Attached are photos.
