Tangier and Asilah
Tangier is a city with a long and storied history. Located on the Strait of Gibraltar, Tangier has been invaded and occupied by a number of civilizations over the centuries, each of which has left its mark on the city. Today, Tangier is a popular travel destination, with a number of historic sites to explore.
The Cave of Hercules is said to be the place where the mythical hero rested after completing his twelve labors. Today, the cave is a popular spot to visit with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean from the opening that looks like the continent of Africa.
See Cap Spartel, the northernmost point of Africa. Not only does the site of the lighthouse offer a view across the Strait to Spain, but you can also see where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Continue along the coast to Asilah, a picturesque seaside town known for its beautifully preserved Portuguese fortifications as well as the artists inhabiting its white-washed medina. Stroll along the town's ramparts, enjoy views of the ocean, and relax in one of its many cafes.
Return to Tangier to visit the Kasbah, the city's ancient fortification that has endured throughout the city’s long history. Its place on the hill provided an ideal lookout for anyone, friend or foe, coming across the Strait. More recently, the Kasbah has provided a place of inspiration for artists, musicians, and writers.
