You push off from Ocean Village with the Strait’s salt wind at your face and the Rock rising ahead—sheer limestone cliffs draped in scrub, roads that thread old military works and lookouts. Pedal-assist hums under your legs; the town falls away and the views widen until Spain and the tip of Morocco sit on the horizon like bookmarks between two continents.
