The day opens at Cap Spartel where Atlantic swells and Mediterranean currents argue visibly at the waterline, and a white lighthouse watches like a patient guardian. Salted wind nudges visitors toward the cliffs, while the light bends across blue water and the Rif's limestone shoulders drop toward the sea.
