Imagine having breakfast in Europe and mint tea in Africa on the same day. From Tarifa, this possibility exists: only 35 minutes by ferry separates you from TangierThe mythical Moroccan city that has fascinated writers, painters and travelers from all over the world.
The ferry Tarifa-Tangier
The crossing of the Strait is an experience in itself. As the boat sails, you can see how Europe is left behind and Africa approaches with its ochre hills. The companies FRS and Baleària offer several crossings a day; the round-trip price is around 70-80 €.
What to see in Tangier in one day
The Medina
The historic heart of Tangier is a maze of narrow streets full of spice stores, handicrafts and colors. Get lost without fear and let yourself be guided by the aromas.
El Gran Zoco
The main square where vendors, musicians and tourists converge. It is the best place to feel the pulse of the city and taste fresh orange juice.
The Kasbah Museum
Former palace of the sultan, today converted into a museum with one of the best collections of Moroccan art. The views over the harbor from its gardens are postcard perfect.
The Hafa Café
A place of worship with direct views of the Strait of Gibraltar. Sitting here with a mint tea while the sun sets over Europe is one of those unforgettable moments.
