Tangier – Where two seas meet

Tangier, a city where Europe and Africa come together, has a unique charm that blends history, culture, and breathtaking coastal views. Spending a day here was an unforgettable experience, from exploring the Medina to standing at the meeting point of the Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. Lunch in the Medina I started my day wandering through Tangier’s Medina, a maze of narrow streets filled with vibrant markets, historic buildings, and hidden cafés. For lunch, I found a cozy spot serving traditional Moroccan dishes—a hearty tagine with fresh bread, followed by a glass of refreshing mint tea. Sitting in the heart of the old city, watching the world go by, was the perfect way to soak in Tangier’s atmosphere. Hercules Cave – A Legendary Spot After lunch, I headed to the famous Hercules Cave, a site steeped in mythology. Legend says that Hercules rested here after completing his 12 labors, and the cave’s opening, shaped like the African continent, makes it even more special. Standing inside, with the waves crashing against the rocks, I felt the deep connection between nature and history. Signpost of the Atlantic and Mediterranean One of the highlights of my trip was visiting the exact point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea. There’s a signpost marking the spot, a simple yet powerful reminder of Tangier’s strategic location. Standing there, with the two seas blending into each other, was a surreal experience. Cap Spartel – A View Like No Other To end the day, I made my way to Cap Spartel, a stunning lighthouse perched on a cliff overlooking the Atlantic. The view was breathtaking—endless blue waters stretching into the horizon, with the golden light of the setting sun making it even more magical. Final Thoughts Tangier is a city of contrasts—where ancient traditions meet modern influences, and where two seas embrace. Whether you’re exploring its historic Medina, diving into legends at Hercules Cave, or standing at the edge of Africa at Cap Spartel, every moment here feels like a journey through time. #morocco #beachlife #travel
