Salt air cuts across the road as the minivan climbs out of Tangier’s busy medina toward Cap Spartel, where Atlantic swells press against the Mediterranean’s softer tide. Riders dismount at a cliff-top viewpoint; the lighthouse watches like an old harbor-guard while coastal scrub and terraced hills roll inland. The quad bikes wait, engines low and ready, promising a fast, focused hour along tracks that alternate between packed earth, sand-capped trails and dusty service roads.
