Introduction

Cape Spartel lies west of Tangier, a headland on the southern shore of the Strait of Gibraltar — the gateway where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic. Beneath its lighthouse, cliff forests and sea wind overlook the meeting of two seas, the western edge of a maritime age. Forest trails and lookouts along the cape overlook two seas — a quiet place to trace ancient Greek navigators.
