Madrid to Algeciras by... ?
Next month I will be travelling to Spain and I need to get to Morocco
ASAP. My first thought was to take the train to Algeciras and then the ferry to Tangier, but the train schedule doesn't fit with the arrival of my flight. So I figure my options a Take the bus to Algeciras. Take the train to Cadiz and then the bus to Algeciras. Take a Morocco-bound bus from Madrid as (very briefly) mentioned in Lonely Planet. Any advice from other travellers or Spanish residents on this? |

Here's another possibility.
First, take the AVE train to Sevilla, which takes about 3 hours. When you arrive at the Santa Justa train station in Sevilla, rent a car one-way and drop it off in Algeciras. There are numerous car rental companies at the train station. I would suggest you book the car rental ahead of time. When I vacationed in Andalucia back in 2001, I rented with www.alamo.com and there was no one-way drop off charge for picking it up in Sevilla and dropping it off in Cordoba a few weeks later. There are obviously several caveats to this alternative. You have to hook up with at car rental company that has an office at or near Algeciras, and one that doesn't have a one-way drop off charge or if there is a charge, it's not prohibitively expensive. The other dynamic I don't know is how much you want or can spend, because couldn't you do this by air? Perhaps flying from Madrid to Cadiz or Malaga? "Ray Clouse" wrote in message om...

Another cheap and quick possibility is take a flight:
Madrid-Melilla. Melilla is one of the Spanish cities in Africa, and is very easy to cross the border. Greatings |

I never considered flying cause I thought it would be too expensive, and
I was unaware that Iberia flew to Melilla. But it turns out flying is just a little more expensive than other transportation. Plus it saves me about 7 hours too. Muchas gracias Copeti!
