What to expect
You'll start with hotel collection in Málaga, then drive to Tarifa for the ferry. Once in Tangier, your guide navigates the villa-lined neighbourhoods before heading to Cape Spartel—a dramatic headland where you can actually see the Atlantic and Mediterranean divide. The Caves of Hercules reward the short scramble down with arched sea-facing openings and prehistoric carvings. Lunch happens in the medina, the meditative maze of the old city where narrow lanes connect spice stalls, leather workers, and tea rooms. Free time lets you drift on your own before the return journey.
