Things To Do

Morocco Day Trip

For those feeling adventurous, we recommend participating in a Morocco day tour. Most tours will provide hotel pickup in Marbella and Málaga. The ferry to Morocco only takes about an hour and a half and can easily be a quick day trip. We recommend checking out Viator and Get Your Guide. It's a great way to check 2 continents off your list!
