🏴‍☠️ Sample Itinerary: How to Do Spain, Gibraltar, & Morocco on a 10-Day Trip 🏝️

Did you know it's relatively easy and inexpensive to travel to southern Spain and Morocco? We've compiled a sample itinerary of a 10-day trip starting in Málaga, venturing over to Gibraltar by bus, and then over to Tangier, Morocco by ferry, continuing on to the famous 'blue city' of Chefchaouen, Morocco, and then back to Tangier where you'll catch a flight up to Barcelona—the final stop on the itinerary.

This is just an example itinerary that would require self-booking through several different websites. This itinerary is also an example of one 10-day period from September 25th through October 4th. One travel day on the 24th should also be taken into consideration when scheduling time off.
