Day Trip Tangier

  Depart Spain (departure time at client’s discretion) for journey across the Straight of Gibraltar.  
  Arrive at the port of Tangier where you will be assisted with customs formalities and transferred from the port to start the day’s visit to Tangier.
  Visit the modern new town and the wealthy “California” section where you will see the estates and palaces of the rich and famous.  Stop at Cap Spartel, the lighthouse that marks the official convergence of the Atlantic and Mediterranean.  
  Travel on to Hercules Cave – continually inhabited since the Neolithic period. 
  Return to Tangier for a Moroccan lunch. 
  Enjoy world-famous Moroccan cuisine while you relax to the entertainment of Andalusian musicians and belly dancer. Begin your tour of the old town. 
  Visit the kasbah (fortified area).  Descend through the labyrinthine roads of the medina through the spice markets, the Berber markets and amongst the craftsmen. 
  Visit the Grand Socco and St. Andrew’s Church, quietly nestled off the busy market square.
  Transfer back to the port for return to Spain.

  Customs / Immigration
  Coming to Morocco: While on the boat you must get your passport stamped by Moroccan Customs. There will be a multilingual announcement (usually very difficult to hear) telling you to do this.  If you do not hear this, just ask any of the ship’s staff where the immigrations agent is.  Failure to have your passport stamped will result in extensive delays upon arrival in Tangier.
  Returning to Spain: There are no formalities to be observed on board ship.
