DAY 1: TANGIER
Day 1 of your Travel to Morocco/Tangier & Chefchaouen from Seville/Spain: one of the best options is to travel with no hassle and get picked-up right at your hotel in Seville to save time and get more time in Tangier. And then, to enjoy a ride in a comfortable car on the new road that connects Seville and Tarifa through the gorgeous national park of Los Alcornocales. Upon arrival in Tarifa, the most southern city in mainland Spain, board the ferry that crosses the Strait of Gibraltar, the entrance of the Meditteranean, and that will take you to another continent. Pay attention to the back of the boat, it’s quite common to see dolphins playing in the trail of the ferry! Once you reach the sunkissed port of Tangier take a bus or go with a driver and finally start exploring Africa with another beautiful ride through the famous California District of Tangier, a neighbourhood famous for being the residence of wealthy Moroccans and celebrities from all over the world, the sight of the numerous palaces and villas is quite impressive! Then you will reach the first stop of your travel to Morocco/Tangier & Chefchaouen from Seville/Spain: Spartel Cape, the most North Western point in Africa. On the top of the cape lies the lighthouse built in 1864 and all around you can see the Atlantic and the Meditteranean, where they meet. The area is beautiful and offers amazing views! Next, only 350m below Cape Spartel in Tangier you will find the legendary Cave of Hercules, quite an odd place, they are said to be created by Hercules on his way to his 12th labour, the entrance is shaped like the African continent and it has long been thought that they were linked to the caves in Gibraltar from under the sea!


DAY 2: TANGIER – CHEFCHAOUEN
Day 2 of your Travel to Morocco/Tangier & Chefchaouen from Seville/Spain: On the second day you should directly head to the world-famous blue city of Chefchaouen, one of the prettiest cities in Morocco, only 2 hours from Tangier. Chefchaouen was founded in 1471 as a small fortress to fight the Portuguese of northern Morocco and has then become popular thanks to its unique ambience, location and above all the blue-washed colour in which it is painted. There are many possible explanations as to why the city is painted blue. The most popular is that, when the Sephardi Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492, they massively emigrated to Morocco, including Chefchaouen, and brought with them the habit of painting their houses blue. This, according to some, is a way of being closer to the sky and therefore closer to God. According to others, the reasons are much more practical, just like the white villages in Southern Spain, light colours have two useful effects in warm climates, first of all, they repel the heat, light colours absorb much less of the sun’s heat. On top of repelling the heat, it also repels mosquitoes and other bugs, that become much more visible on a homogenous light background and therefore much more vulnerable to birds and other predators.

Hi. We are a family of 5 and would like to do a one night/2day tour of Morocco from Seville on January 14th. Is this possible and what are the costs/itinerary? Thank you
Hi Karen,
Sure! Morocco is a magical place and it is a great idea to stay there one night and visit apart from Tangier the charming village of Chefchouaen. Please let me know how many rooms you need and how old the kids are so I can confirm the availability and price for you.
Thanks a lot!
