You step out of the air-conditioned vehicle and the cape wind meets you first — sharp, salty, insistent — pushing your attention toward the line where two seas argue with one another. From Cap Spartel the Atlantic thrusts west while the Mediterranean sits patient to the east; below, the Caves of Hercules yawn into limestone carved by currents and centuries.
