Morning light slides across the Strait of Gibraltar as a private van pulls away from Tangier; the Atlantic breathes salt and wind through open windows while the road curves toward Cap Spartel. Visitors step out at a rocky headland where the Mediterranean and Atlantic meet, then follow a short walk to a dramatic sea arch at Hercules Caves — limestone carved by centuries of waves and pilgrims.
