Description
Discover the charm of Morocco on a full-day trip from Seville. Cross the Strait of Gibraltar enjoying amazing views before you arrive in Tangier, the bustling bazar, full of life and exotic souvenirs.
You will begin the day with a hotel pick-up and a beautiful and relaxing drive to the port town of Tarifa, where you will board a ferry to Tangiers (local payment of €80 PP). Enjoying the beautiful views of the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean and keeping a lookout for the dolphins that often will accompany you. Upon arrival in Tangiers, you will be taken on a sightseeing tour in and around the city. Witness not only the older and more historical sites, but also how the influences from outside have shaped this city into a modern and thriving hub of commerce and trade.
Drive along the Atlantic coastline to Spartel Cape, the most Northwestern point on the African mainland, and one of the focal points of Tangiers. The lighthouse was built in 1864 as part of the international agreement zone, cooperatively with nine European nations and the American and Moroccan government. Continuing along the Atlantic coast, you will stop at what is known as Hercules Cave. These caves date back to the Neolithic period and the cave is partially man-made and natural. The construction of these caves is a marvel of engineering, considering the crudity of tools that these people would have had at the time, and will leave you wondering, did they have help? You will also have the option at this time to take a ride on a camel along the beaches.
Returning to the city, stop for lunch in a traditional Moroccan restaurant, enjoying the diverse and flavorful and typical cuisine of the region (local payment of €15 PP). After lunch, begin a walking tour of the city starting in the casbah with its beautiful museum (the sultan’s palace), giving you an insightful look into the history of the area from prehistoric times to the 19th-century. After which, you will be shown you to the medina, where you will experience a typical Moroccan market, getting to interact with the friendly locals and perhaps also visiting a local bakery. Prior to heading back and boarding the return ferry, you will have some free time to shop for souvenirs, take last minute photos or just relax and have a drink. Once you arrive back in Tarifa, return back to Seville and be dropped off at your hotel to dream of your Moroccan adventure.
