Cape Spartel is a promontory in Morocco about 1,000 feet above sea level at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar, 12 km west of Tangier. It is the northwesternmost point of the African continent. Below the cape are the Caves of Hercules.
The lighthouse overlooks the point where the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean meet. On a clear day, it is possible to see the coast of Spain. The views from the top of the lighthouse are spectacular, although it is a bit of climb. Definitely one of the must see sites in Tangier.
