Cape Three Forks
Cape Three Forks is a headland on the Mediterranean coast of Morocco. The Arabic name (Ras Tleta Madari), the French name (Cap des Trois Fourches) and the Spanish name (Cabo de Tres Forcas), all signify the same thing: the Cape of the Three Forks. The cape is a large mountainous promontory of North Africa into the Mediterranean Sea. For centuries, this cape has provided both a nautical landmark and a maritime hazard for ships in the Alboran Sea.
