Cape Malabata (; ; , Ras Malabata, or Rās al-Manār, "Lighthouse Cape") is a cape located about east of central Tangier, Morocco, facing the Strait of Gibraltar. The cape features a lighthouse and a medieval-style castle that was built in early 20th century. Tunnel In 2003, a Strait of Gibraltar crossing was proposed that would have linked Cape Malabata to Punta Paloma in Spain. Years of studies have, however, made no real progress thus far.
