Just returned from a rather eventful trip to Morocco. Of course, what's the cheapest way to get there? Via Spain, of course, particularly via one of those flight-only deals on the charter airlines from Gatwick. All fine on the way out... took the ferry from Algeciras to Ceuta (OK, technically Spain, but there we go). Only problem was on the way back. Had to be rescued by the Red Cross (well, they gave us food parcels and nice red blankets to sleep in when in the ferry terminal).

Moral of the story is it's a great way to get in to Africa... but explaining it to your charter hotel when you arrive back late to check out can be a bit tricky...
