A friend and I are planning a trip to Morocco this winter. I want to leave Saturday, January 22nd, and return Sunday, February 6th. Flights into and out of Morocco from the States are pretty pricey, but I found a cheap RT to Barcelona, where I’ve always wanted to visit, so initially I thought I’d fly in and out of there, and get a ferry or a cheap Ryanair flight in and out of Morocco.
BUT. That particular ferry is expensive and only runs once a week, and Ryanair doesn’t really run very many flights along that route, but it does run a lot of flights between Morocco and Seville. So I found a roundtrip into Seville for $627, and my new plan is, fly into Seville on the 22nd, fly one-way Ryanair Seville -> Marrakech on the 24th (around $15), and then work my way back to Seville overland via this route:
Marrakech -> Casablanca -> Meknes -> Fes -> Chefchaouen -> Tanger -> (ferry) -> Cadiz or Malaga -> Seville
Does that seem a doable itinerary for two weeks? Is there a cheaper/better way to do this? My primary goal is to see Morocco, but I wouldn’t mind seeing some of Southern Spain while I’m at it; however, I don’t want to bite off more than I can chew, or pre-book any more than I have to, as I like to stay flexible on my travels. To fly in and out of Morocco itself would cost about $1k, and then I’d have to backtrack, which I feel would limit my options.
I know I should really post this on Thorntree, and I will, but also wanted to post here in case any of you have any advice.
