The maritime wealth of Ceuta goes far beyond sport. Here, where the Mediterranean meets the Atlantic and history rises above centuries-old walls, every experience becomes unrepeatable. From swimming in open waters alongside royal fortresses to diving into seabeds where archaeology, faith and nature coexist, the city unfolds a world designed for travelers in search of intensity and authenticity.

An elite challenge around Monte Hacho
Among the most unique competitions in the world, the swim around Monte Hacho draws athletes from South Africa, Australia and the UK each year, joining local swimmers who transform the race into a celebration of endurance and pride. To compete in Ceuta is to touch two seas, fight impossible currents and cross the legendary royal moat—an arena no other city can offer.

The Mediterranean’s most exclusive diving
Ceuta guards more than twenty dive sites, dazzling international photographers and divers alike. Submerged sculptures, the remains of historic vessels and vivid orange corals coexist in a privileged ecosystem, where every immersion blend adventure, beauty and culture.

Mediterranean glamour at Marina Hércules
Ceuta’s marina is far more than a mooring point: it is a meeting place where elite sailors and yacht travelers discover the warmth of Ceuta’s hospitality against a monumental backdrop. From here, strategic regattas set sail, and the Mediterranean is enjoyed with the flair of a private club.

This is just a preview. The full feature, with exclusive interviews and unseen details, awaits in the next edition of Sports & Lifestyle Magazine.
