Just outside Tangier lies one of Morocco's most iconic natural sites. The Caves of Hercules are steeped in Greek mythology — legend says Hercules rested here after separating Europe from Africa. The cave opening, shaped like the map of Africa, frames a stunning view of the Atlantic. Continue to Cap Spartel, where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean, marked by a beautifully restored 19th-century lighthouse. Stop at the ruins of the ancient Roman city of Cotta along the way.
