    "The cave, also known as the African cave, is a natural cave located a few kilometers southwest of Cape Spate. The name is derived from the Greek myth of Hercules. In Greek mythology, the ancient continent of Africa was connected to Eurasia, and under the wrath of Heracles, the Gibraltar Mountain was split in one hand, which brought together the waters of the Atlantic and the Mediterranean, and thus appeared the Strait of Gibraltar. This act infuriated Zeus, and Heracles was punished for lifting the weights forever. Hercules Cave is not famous for this mythical story, but because there is a cave in the cave that resembles the "African map", and even the outline of Madagascar can be clearly seen below the map. Address: Tangier, Moroccan Transport: There is no public transportation in this place. If you are not driving by yourself, come before chartering a car. It costs about AED 250 to and from Africa Cave. The price is about 175 yuan. Every attraction will wait for you to take pictures for a while. Three hours is enough."

    Highlights: On the mountain near the sea on the north side of downtown Tangier, the hole is not too big. It is only a few dozen meters from the entrance of the hole, and you can see the head after turning a corner. At the end is a hole facing the sea, which happens to be a little above sea level, so you can see the vast sea through the hole, and seagulls are flying in the air. If you have time, you can see the magnificent scenery of sunrise and sunset over the sea. From the entrance of the cave, there is a small square surrounded by six or seven coffee shops and souvenir shops, and you can park in the middle. It is very suitable for a leisurely sitting for a while, having a cup of coffee and blowing the sea breeze.

    "Cape Spater is located in the northwestmost part of the African continent, with a sea level of more than 300 meters, overlooking the sea. There are two towers on the Cape, mainly used as lighthouses and serving ships, which are iconic. There is a cave below the promontory, with a long history, archaeologists found the remains of the Neolithic era, and later the rocks next to the cave were constantly mined, which finally made the cave larger and larger, and became the current scale. In fact, there were many major historical events at Cape Spalter: the American War of Independence in 1782, and the British and French fleets at sea not far away. The Spanish Civil War of 1936, when it was a contest between nationalism and the Republic's fleet, finally breaking the Republic's blockade of the Strait of Gibraltar, ensuring that the naval supply route for Spain and Morocco at the beginning of the war was west of the Atlantic Ocean, The eastern side connects the Mediterranean. A pure white lighthouse stands alone on the cliff edge of the promontory, like a vigilant in traditional Moroccan costumes and oil lamps. This pattern is on the back of a note that has been guiding the ships passing here for centuries to the 200 dirham face value. Explain the importance of this inconspicuous small lighthouse address: 1.14km Achakar commun de Tanger, 90000 Moroccan Transportation: There is no public transportation in this place. If you are not driving by yourself, come before chartering a car. Come and go with the African hole for 250 dirhams. The time price is about 175 yuan. Every attraction will wait for you to take pictures for a while. Three hours is enough."

    Highlights: Cape Sparter Lighthouse is located at Cape Spartel at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, twelve kilometers west of Tangier. The altitude is about 300 meters. Cape Sparter is the northern western point of the African continent. The lighthouse faces the vast ocean. The tower is so tall that it can be clearly seen from a long distance. The top of the tower is brightly lit at night. The photo was taken with the lighthouse as the background. Another special feature of this lighthouse is that, standing here, it can basically be assumed that the Atlantic Ocean is to the west and the Mediterranean Sea is to the east. When the weather is fine, climb the tower and overlook, it is possible to see Spain. But the lighthouse is currently closed to the public. Only the small vendors buying souvenirs under the tower, and the coffee bar next to it, attract tourists to stay for a while.
