What to expect
You'll depart Cadiz early for the Tarifa ferry terminal, crossing the strait in about an hour to Tangier's busy port. Your guide meets you dockside for a scenic drive past palatial homes and the royal residence before heading northeast to Cape Spartel's windswept headland—genuinely strange seeing two ocean systems collide. The Hercules Caves involve some walking through caverns carved from golden rock, with a natural window framing the sea. Back in the medina, expect narrow souks, call-to-prayer sounds, and genuine curiosity from shopkeepers. Lunch is a proper sit-down meal with your guide translating local chat.
Good to know
Ferry schedules are weather-dependent; flexibility matters. Bring euros for the camel ride if interested (roughly €10). Wear comfortable walking shoes for cave exploration and medina lanes. The medina's tight alleyways aren't pram-friendly, though infant seats are available in vehicles. Departure times from Cadiz can shift to suit your schedule.
