Gran Canaria (Canary Isls) to Morocco Excursions..need help
Hello,
I will be visiting Madrid and Canaries in November and would REALLY REALLY like to take a sidetrip to Marrakesh (Morocco). I have been told that this is doable from Canaries, but so far I have not been able to find any info online (at least not in english). Flights from Madrid are $74 to Casablanca so I am tempted, but would really prefer to do this from Canaries instead. Any help would be greately appreciated!
Thanks a million!

I have found word that there are no ferries between the Canaries and Morocco. But maybe I am wrong.

There are excellent connections between UK, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden and Spain to the Canaries, but I am afraid there is not much demand for the Canaries-Morocco connection.
For us Northern Europeans, the Canaries are so appealing because they offer nice weather during our dreadful winter months. 95% of these tourists are primarily interested in tanning, beach life and diskos, with an occasional trip into the hinterland.
The people who are travelling to Morocco are a quite different bunch - adventurers, intellectuals, late hippies, pot-smokers...

The trip to Morocco from the Canaries is something that will jump in your face once you run into the first (of ten dozen) person(s) giving you a leaflet with tours. It's nothing that anyone books in advance. It's a simple day trip as would be a bus tour.

P.S. The usual trip goes from Tenerife North or LPA to al-Ayun which is in Western Sahara. You did not say that you specifically wanted to go to Marrakesh. The airline should be Binter Canarias, a local carrier from the islands.
