You step out of the minivan onto wind-swept rock where the Atlantic slams into the Mediterranean; salt on your lips, gulls arguing overhead, and the outline of Cape Spartel stretching westward. The tour threads through Tangier’s early-20th-century colonnades and the leafy terraces of Perdicaris Park before climbing to the cliff-top viewpoint where the sea lights up in broad, brassy bands.
