Day 2: Nature and Surroundings of Tangier
On day 2, you explore the nature and sights around Tangier, such as Cap Spartel, Donabo Gardens, and Café Hafa.
Visit Cap Spartel
Cap Spartel is a cape located approximately 10 km from the center of Tangier. The cape rises to a height of 326 meters and boasts an authentic lighthouse at its end. What makes this place so special is that on a sunny day, you have a magnificent view of where the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet. Enjoy the breathtaking view and visit the nearby lighthouse, where you will learn more about its history.
You can order a cheap taxi using the Careem or inDrive(r) app.
Relax in Donabo Gardens
On the road between Cap Spartel and the center of Tangier, you will pass by Donabo Gardens, a model garden of Morocco that they are particularly proud of. For €5, you can enjoy the small but well-maintained botanical garden. There is also an ecological restaurant where you can brunch or have lunch with sweet or savory options for €10 per person, including coffee or tea and freshly squeezed orange juice.

Sunset in Café Hafa
The open-air Café Hafa has been around since 1921 and is located on a cliff with a stunning view of the Mediterranean Sea. You can't leave Tangier without enjoying a traditional Moroccan mint tea here, relaxing, and especially savoring a phenomenal sunset. Although it is not a restaurant, you can order very affordable snacks like a shawarma sandwich (€3), bissara (Moroccan pea soup), or pastries. Bringing your own snacks is also perfectly fine!
