Tarifa offers the tempting opportunity of a quick approach
to Morocco
, with Tangier feasible as a day-trip by boat on the once-daily seasonal ferry (May-Sept). Tickets are available from the Tourafrica office (tel 956 684 751) on the quayside, or from travel agents along c/Batalla del Salado. The boat normally leaves at 9.30am, returning from Tangier at 4.30pm or 6pm (Spanish time - which is 1hr ahead of Moroccan); check current times with Tourafrica or the turismo. The crossing takes an hour, leaving you just enough time for a brief look around. An overnight stay probably makes more sense, especially as a return ticket costs around a?¬36. It's wise to book a few days ahead, as tour companies often take over the whole boat. This crossing is a lot more expensive than going from Algeciras, but might be a better bet if the latter is chock-a-block in summer or when Moroccans are returning home for the two major Islamic festivals (which rotate between January, February and March).
