What travelers say:

Cape Spater is located in the northwestmost part of the African continent, with a sea level of more than 300 meters, overlooking the sea. There are two towers on the Cape, mainly used as lighthouses and serving ships, which are iconic. There is a cave below the promontory, with a long history, archaeologists found the remains of the Neolithic era, and later the rocks next to the cave were constantly mined, which finally made the cave larger and larger, and became the current scale. In fact, there were many major historical events at Cape Spalter: the American War of Independence in 1782, and the British and French fleets at sea not far away. The Spanish Civil War of 1936, when it was a contest between nationalism and the Republic's fleet, finally breaking the Republic's blockade of the Strait of Gibraltar, ensuring that the naval supply route for Spain and Morocco at the beginning of the war was west of the Atlantic Ocean, The eastern side connects the Mediterranean. A pure white lighthouse stands alone on the cliff edge of the promontory, like a vigilant in traditional Moroccan costumes and oil lamps. This pattern is on the back of a note that has been guiding the ships passing here for centuries to the 200 dirham face value. Explain the importance of this inconspicuous small lighthouse address: 1.14km Achakar commun de Tanger, 90000 Moroccan Transportation: There is no public transportation in this place. If you are not driving by yourself, come before chartering a car. Come and go with the African hole for 250 dirhams. The time price is about 175 yuan. Every attraction will wait for you to take pictures for a while. Three hours is enough.
