长脸张少侠5/5
OutstandingCape 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 This pattern is on the back of the 200-dirham note, which shows the importance of this inconspicuous lighthouse Address: 1.14km Achakar commun de Tanger, 90000 Morocco Transportation: There is no public transportation in this place. If you don’t drive yourself, you can charter a car. It costs 250 dirhams round trip with the African Cave, and the price is about 175 yuan. Each scenic spot will wait for you to take pictures. Three hours round trip is enough.
Cape Spartel attraction highlights
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Cape Sparter Lighthouse is located at Cape Spartel at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, twelve kilometers west of Tangier. The altitude is about 300 meters. Cape Sparter is the northern western point of the African continent. The lighthouse faces the vast ocean. The tower is so tall that it can be clearly seen from a long distance. The top of the tower is brightly lit at night. The photo was taken with the lighthouse as the background. Another special feature of this lighthouse is that, standing here, it can basically be assumed that the Atlantic Ocean is to the west and the Mediterranean Sea is to the east. When the weather is fine, climb the tower and overlook, it is possible to see Spain. But the lighthouse is currently closed to the public. Only the small vendors buying souvenirs under the tower, and the coffee bar next to it, attract tourists to stay for a while.

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 This pattern is on the back of the 200-dirham note, which shows the importance of this inconspicuous lighthouse Address: 1.14km Achakar commun de Tanger, 90000 Morocco Transportation: There is no public transportation in this place. If you don’t drive yourself, you can charter a car. It costs 250 dirhams round trip with the African Cave, and the price is about 175 yuan. Each scenic spot will wait for you to take pictures. Three hours round trip is enough.
Tangier must-see: Until the end of the world, when the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea Cape Spartel is located 14 kilometers west of Tangier and is the northwest end of the Atlantic coast of Africa. Crossing the pine-covered cape and standing in front of the Spartel Lighthouse, you will face the amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean on the left and the Mediterranean Sea/Strait of Gibraltar on the right.
Came here on March 2, 2019. Take out 200 dirhams! Morocco has a long coastline, and there are many lighthouses along the coast, but this lighthouse is "honored" on the back of the 200 dirhams. Why? Because this lighthouse is located on the south side of the Strait of Gibraltar, which is the boundary between the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea! To the east of the lighthouse is the Mediterranean Sea, and to the west of the lighthouse is the Atlantic Ocean. Although the navigation technology continues to progress, this lighthouse is no longer in use. However, the lighthouse building itself is very beautiful, a typical Moorish-style building, and it is still very beautiful to take pictures. Walking back from the lighthouse, there are several restaurants with a good atmosphere, where you can sit down and have a drink and rest.
Cape Spartel Lighthouse is located at Cape Spartel at the entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar. From the point of demarcation between the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, Spain is to the east of the Mediterranean Sea, to the west of the Atlantic Ocean and to the other side of Spain. When you come to such geographical indications, you can't help looking up maps.
Cape Spartel Lighthouse, located 12 kilometers west of Dangil at the entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar, is the northernmost end of the African continent. The Lighthouse separates the Atlantic Ocean from the Mediterranean Sea and stands at the lighthouse. To the west, the Atlantic Ocean is the Mediterranean Sea. It is a magical place. Spain can also be seen in fine weather. This is a place where tourists like to take photos. There are also some souvenir vendors around.
Cape Spartel Lighthouse is located at Cape Spartel, 12 kilometers west of Dangil, at the entrance of the Strait of Gibraltar, about 300 meters above sea level. Tourists always take photos in the background of the lighthouse. Another special feature of this lighthouse is that standing here, it can be basically recognized that the Atlantic Ocean is to the West and the Mediterranean Sea is to the east. When the weather is fine, you may see Spain when you climb the tower. We arrived here that day just in time for the sunset. The sun's afterglow was shining brightly on the lighthouse. Finally, we witnessed the sun slowly falling into the Atlantic Ocean. The scene was very spectacular.
