Cape Spartel
To the west of Tangier and close to the caves of Hercules, a lighthouse was built in 1864 on Cape Spartel to prevent the numerous shipwrecks that occurred in the rough waters of the ocean. It is believed that 15 km north of the cape there was once an island, now submerged….Some think it was the legendary city of Atlantis.
