You step off the minivan onto Achakkar Beach with wind cutting across the wide shore; a camel waits like an old companion, patient under the sun as the sea pushes itself toward two continents. The day moves in clear stages—salted air at Cap Spartel, the hollow echo of Hercules Cave, the mosaic alleys of the Medina, and a calm pause for coffee while a guide sketches Tangier’s layered past.
