Excursions from tangier to spain. Spain and the imperial cities of Morocco

Tangier - one of the most ancient cities of Morocco, is located on the shore of the bay at the foot of the hills, in the place where Atlantic Ocean meets with mediterranean sea. Tangier connects Europe and Africa, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, so Moroccan, European and African cultures are mixed here. This port has been mentioned since 500 BC. e. From Tangier, you can take a ferry to the coast of Spain in 35 minutes.

A trip to Tangier from the Spanish Costa del Sol, which I organize and lead, is a unique opportunity for 1 day to plunge into the atmosphere of an oriental city. Only 14 km of the Strait of Gibraltar separate two continents, two worlds - Christianity and Islam, East and West, Europe and Africa.

The tour starts from Malaga (port, airport), Torremolinos, Benalmadena, Fuengirola, Mijas, Marbella, Estepona or another city (hotel, apartment) by agreement. Upon completion, return to Spain and to the place of original departure.

Tangier is full of architectural sights. In the Old City (Medina), traditional white houses line the narrow streets. ATTENTION! You must have an EU passport or a Russian passport with a Schengen multi-visa (for multiple entries into the Schengen zone) with you!

Old city, Medina, market, Avenida Mohammed VI, Cape Spartel (optional), port of Tangier.
