Step into legend at the Hercules Caves, one of Tangier’s most iconic and mysterious natural sites. Located along the Atlantic coast just a short drive from Cap Spartel, these ancient caves are steeped in mythology, history, and natural beauty. As you enter the caves, your guide will explain the legend of Hercules, the mythical hero said to have rested here after separating Africa from Europe. Inside, you'll explore naturally formed limestone chambers, partially shaped by the sea and human hands over centuries — once used by Berbers to carve millstones. The highlight of the visit is the famous "Map of Africa" opening — a dramatic sea-facing hole in the cave wall shaped like the African continent. It's one of the most photographed spots in Tangier and offers a perfect frame for photos with crashing waves in the background. Whether you're drawn by the myth, geology, or the raw Atlantic energy, a visit to the Hercules Caves offers a fascinating mix of nature, legend, and coastal magic.
