It is at the foot of this lighthouse that the waters of the Mediterranean and the Atlantic mix. Beyond the ocean, America.
In 1861, the authorities decided to build a lighthouse at Cape Spartel, in response to the numerous shipwrecks in the area. Sultan Abd el-Rahman gave the go-ahead for the project, and the lighthouse was inaugurated on October 15, 1864. Opened to the public in 2021, after a year of renovation, the interior now houses a museum recounting the history of its construction and an educational center for children. From up here, a breathtaking view unfolds over the Strait of Gibraltar and Tarifa in the distance.
