Cape Spartel, situated west of Tangier, marks the northwesternmost point of Africa, where the Atlantic Ocean converges with the Mediterranean Sea. Rising 1,000 feet (305 meters) above sea level, the cape offers stunning views and dramatic coastal roads. A lighthouse, built in 1864, stands as a historic landmark, guiding mariners through the treacherous waters. Visitors can explore the rugged coastline, take in the panoramic vistas, and appreciate the lighthouse’s enduring presence.
