This option is perfect for those who wish to skip the bus and ferry ride from Madrid to Tangier and take a flight instead.

With these details, we will happily arrange your airport pick-up and drop off at no extra charge.

Below are a few things to keep in mind when looking into this option:

• You will need to fly in to and depart from Tangier.
• Plan to arrive to Tangier on January 31st before 14:00.
• Plan to leave Tangier on February 2nd after 14:30*
• Send all your flight information and questions to trips@citylifemadrid.com.

*Airport Drop-off on Sunday is included in the package price but can only be arranged for flights leaving at 14:30 or later as we won’t arrive in Tangier until the afternoon.

Day 1: Tangier

We’ll start on Friday, once you’ve landed in Tangier. The airport pickup will bring you to our hotel where you’ll connect with the group! Before we explore the city we will first head to the coast where we will enjoy a short camel ride along the beach (which will surely be the one of the trip’s highlights). Then we will visit the legendary Hercules Caves. As a last stop before heading to the medina we will see the point where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea!

Later on in the day we will head towards the city, to explore more of Moroccan culture. Tangier is a perfect mix of old and new architecture, divided by an ancient wall. On our tour we will explore the medina (old town), a nest of medieval alleyways. Don’t miss the rather theatrical visit to a traditional Moroccan pharmacy. At the end of the day, those interested can join for a traditional Moroccan dinner which offers live music, delicious typical food and great vibes!

Day 2: Chefchaouen

Finally, on Saturday we will travel to another city in Morocco. One of the prettiest towns in the country, Chefchaouen. The city is beautifully perched beneath the raw peaks of the Rif mountains. It’s known for its artsy vibe as well as its blue-washed streets. We will explore the town with a local guide, after-which the day is yours! In Chaouen, we will be staying at a charming Boutique Hotel, located right next to the old town.

Day 3: Madrid

We will enjoy our final complimentary breakfast at our hotel before making our way back to Tangier to drop those flying back to Madrid at the airport.
