The late-afternoon light softens over the headland as you step from an air-conditioned minivan onto wind-scoured sand. Camels wait in a line like patient promises, and the sea—two seas, really—pushes a cool breeze across your face as you mount for a slow, rocking ride along Achakkar Beach. The lighthouse at Cap Spartel watches from its rocky perch where the Atlantic collides with the Mediterranean; waves dare you closer while gulls thread the air.
