Cape Spartel and the Strait

Cape Spartel lies west of Tangier where the Atlantic and Mediterranean regions meet. Clear days bring wide views over the coast and the Strait of Gibraltar.

Kasbah and medina

Tangier's old city climbs from the port towards the kasbah, with narrow lanes, viewpoints and historic houses reflecting the city's international past.

Food experiences

Tangier combines Moroccan cooking with strong Mediterranean influences. Seafood, grilled fish, mint tea and northern pastries are natural choices near the coast and markets.

Tangier with kids

Short medina walks, Cape Spartel and coastal stops work well for families. Keep old-city routes manageable because some streets are steep and busy.

Experiences for couples

A sunset at Cape Spartel, a private city tour or a quiet dinner overlooking the Strait are simple choices for a stay for two.
