3. Stand at the impressive Cape Spartel lighthouse, the northwesternmost point of mainland Africa. From here, you will enjoy spectacular, panoramic views over the exact meeting point where the deep blue Atlantic Ocean officially converges with the calm Mediterranean Sea.

   15 min

4. We will also visit the beautiful Perdicaris Park, a tranquil forest with a dramatic secret. Known to locals as Arrrmelat Forest, it became world-famous for the 1904 'Perdicaris Incident.' Here, the infamous bandit Mulai Ahmed Raisuli kidnapped the wealthy American Ion Perdicaris, sparking an international affair and a tale you'll hear all about on your tour.

   15 min

5. We will explore the historic heart of Tangier: the Kasbah. This ancient, walled fortress dominates the city from its hilltop, offering breathtaking panoramic views. Within its walls, we'll discover the Dar el Makhzen, the spectacular 17th-century palace built by the powerful Sultan Moulay Ismail, and wander through its impressive royal gardens.

   30 min

6. Step into myth at the Caves of Hercules, a spectacular natural wonder situated next to the royal summer palace. You will explore this cavern, famous for its two entrances. The land entrance is a gateway to mystery, but the sea entrance is the main event: a breathtaking opening, shaped perfectly like the continent of Africa, which legend says was carved by the Phoenicians thousands of years ago.

   20 min

7. You will stand in the historic Place du 9 Avril 1947, known locally as the 'Grand Socco.' This square is named for the pivotal day King Mohamed V delivered a momentous speech from this very spot, boldly calling for the nation's independence and marking a turning point in Moroccan history.

About Tarifa

Tarifa is a walled white town at the southern tip of Spain, on the Strait of Gibraltar, known for wind, kitesurfing beaches and views of Morocco.

Tarifa stands at the southernmost point of mainland Spain and Europe, where the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean in the Strait of Gibraltar, only about 14 km from Africa at the narrowest point. The old town is enclosed by Moorish walls and entered through the Puerta de Jerez, and the castle of Guzmán el Bueno, which began as a tenth-century Moorish fortress, overlooks the harbour.
