Program details

Come with us spend a day in another continent. Tangiers is situated just across the Straits of Gibraltar but this cosmopolitan port city will seem a world away. Exotic, mysterious, home to spies, artists, shady diplomats and businessmen on the make with beautiful vistas, unspoiled beaches, and friendly people, Tangier is an interesting mix of North Africa, Spain, Portugal and France.

After making the crossing by high speed catamaran we'll tour all the main sights of this fascinating, cosmopolitan city. There will also be time for you do explore on your own and a traditional Moroccan lunch is also included.

We'll visit the modern town with its wide boulevards, sophisticated cafés and exclusive boutiques. Then we'll dive into the old walled medina with its ancient souks. Wander around narrow alleyways filled with cubbyhole shops, bakeries and tailors, see the locals wearing their chillabas, it’s like stepping back to medieval times.

In the bustling souks you'll find literally everything is for sale with vegetables, electronics, clothing, shoes, spices, carpets, ironmongery competing for your attention. Leather goods and the finely worked brassware are especially good buys. Then we'll go for a traditional Moroccan meal at a local restaurant before making the crossing by fast ferry back to Spain.


During the Cultural Excursion to Tangier (differently to the normal excursion to Tangier) you will also take a tour from the modern city to the outskirts, arriving at Cabo Espartel where you will enjoy outstanding panoramic views of the strait.
