I really loved the calm of Cape Spartel, far away from the tumult of Tangier. I spend several wonderful hours there walking along the beaches, especially Robinson beach. It was a very invigorating outing, cradled by a wind from the east, and surrounded by still virgin scenery, which is a contrast with some of the concrete covered beaches in Tangier. Swimmers should be careful because there are very strong currents here. My tip: don't leave Cape Spartel without visiting the lighthouse. It has reigned over the promontory since the 19th century, surrounded by lush vegetation and palm trees. It has a wonderful view of the Straits of Gibraltar!

There is a magnificent view from the top of the Cape Spartel promontory which dominates the sea from a height of over 300 metres. During my <a href="/morocco/">trip to Morocco</a>, I had the chance to admire this cape in the north west of the country with its unique, breath taking view over the Atlantic ocean and the mouth of the Straits of Gibraltar. It's a very touristy spot so it's better to avoid going there at the weekend or during the school holidays. Below the promontory waves have created caves in the rocks which are called the Caves of Hercules. They are the main attraction and there are lots of tourists there every day. As far as I am concerned the best part of Cape Spartel is to sit down opposite the ocean and eat barbecued fish while watching the sun go down.

Cape Spartel is 14 km west of Tangier, where the Straits of Gibraltar begin.
