The Ceuta Peninsula

The northwest coast of Morocco offers such splendid views and gentle breezes that it is difficult not to recommend it if you have the time and curiosity to spend a day there. The N16 coast road east from Tangier hugs the edge of the Strait of Gibraltar all the way to the Djebel Musa promontory and Cap Spartel.
