An amazing and beautiful place, with a significant archeology, Hercules Caves are located 14 km west of Tangier.
Apparently, this is where rested the mythical figure of Hercules after completion of his 12 labors. The cave entrances facing towards the Atlantic and are flooded during high tides. When the tide rises, the waves move water and flood the cave. That's pretty impressive, the caves are partly artificial. At present, we still do not know how these caves have been created. Popular belief says they were built by an ancient civilization to protect themselves. In fact, their lives remain a mystery.
The views of the Cape of Gibraltar from the inner caves are impressive, especially the colors, the blue of the Atlantic Ocean and the sky form a unique contrast.
Swim at this location can be dangerous because of strong currents, if you are not an experienced swimmer, it is strongly advised not to venture into the sea at this point.
Some people say that the caves communicate with those of San Michael Gibraltar but no one has ever been able to corroborate this hypothesis.
Also you can visit in this area of the Roman ruins of Cotta Century II and III just 500 feet away.
