Monte Hacho is a low mountain that overlooks the Spanish city of Ceuta, on the north coast of Africa.
According to the legend, Hercules pushed apart the two mountains and created a link between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic.
[2] Monte Hacho is located on the Península de Almina and topped by a fort, the Fortaleza de Hacho,[3] which was first built by the Byzantines, before being added to by the Arabs, Portuguese and Spanish.
Monte Hacho also has a convent, Ermita de San Antonio, and Monumento del Llano Amarillo which is a monument to Generalisimo Francisco Franco and the start of the Spanish Civil War in North Africa in 1936.
