Before I describe how to do this journey by bus, please check flight prices on SkyScanner first as there are now some promo flights from time to time.

It’s been a long time between drinks, but I’m still alive! Having just finished 5 weeks on the Camino de Santiago (more on that later), I nicked down into Portugal for some R&R. Porto and Lisbon to be exact. Both of those places were charming, the people delightful and the food refreshing. Cheap too! But after that we wanted to get into Morocco and we just couldn’t figure out the best way to get from Lisbon, Portugal to Morocco. Well now we know.

Of course, the best way is to fly. But flying is REALLY expensive at last minute, so we decided to try out the buses instead. We booked our ticket directly at the bus station in Lisbon, but it’s also possible to get online to this bus website and book your trip. You want to book through from Lisbon to Algeciras if you’re heading to Morocco because Algeciras is where most ferries depart from. For us, it was a 9:30pm departure from Lisbon with a change of buses in Seville. From Seville a bus goes to Algeciras port directly. But to get from Lisbon to Algeciras, just book the one ticket right through. Cost was 59 euro each.

Once in Algeciras the next morning, things start getting interesting. The first thing to do is to buy a ticket. You can buy a ticket to a number of different places, but if you’re going to head to Chefchaouen like we did as your first stop (do this!), then you need to catch the ferry to Ceuta, a Spanish enclave in north Africa. It cost us 36 euro each. If you’re heading down the west coast first, catch the boat to Tangier.

How to get from Ceuta to Chefchaouen

Once in Ceuta, you need to get to the Morocco border. It’s quite easy! Walk out of the ferry port in Ceuta and hit the road out the front. Turn left down this road and walk about 500m where you will pass a gas station on your left and some supermarkets on your right. Keep walking until the road makes a sharp 90 degree turn to the right. Turn right here and up a slight hill for 100m up to a roundabout and then turn right again. From here it is 150m to the bus stop. You need to get on bus 7 and get off at the last stop. You will know it’s the last stop because the bus will empty out and the border is right there in your face. Cost is 0.80 euro.

Border control is a bit disorganised from the Moroccan end. Random guys without uniforms pointing you back and forth to different booths, across the road to the vehicle entry, back to the pedestrian entry… basically all around the place as if they’ve never checked in a foreigner before. Once you’re past this and in Morocco there is a cash machine and a bunch of taxis. From here you are probably best off having local currency although Euros are accepted, it makes things slightly more complicated with getting change.

You need to catch a collective taxi (one with other passengers) to the town of Tetouan for 2 euro. You might need to wait 15 minutes for other passengers and then you will be on your way. 45 minutes later you arrive in Tetouan. If you are dropped off at the proper spot, you will be just outside of a park and across the road from the CTM bus terminal. CTM is the good bus service through Morocco and costs slightly more than the beat up buses from other companies at the other bus station.

Book a ticket from Tetouan to Chefchaouen or Fes or anywhere else in Morocco for that matter (25dh). The trip to Chefchaouen is only about 3 or 4 hours and is a great first step in Morocco. More to come on this fantastic journey into Morocco, so check back soon.

This is a fab. story & just what I need to do a similar adventure. So, would like to hear the rest of your story. Cheers.

Hi Dawn. As always, it takes time I don’t have to write these stories. Needless to say, there’s much to love and much to dislike about Morocco. A truly unique and inspiring country that challenges daily.

I am surprised & thrilled that you got back to me…………………………surprised because I actually got a response (lotsa times I hear nothing on enquiries) & thrilled that another human ‘spoke’ to me!

Live alone & even tho’have lotsa friends, to speak with someone OS is exciting.

So, are you still in Morocco? What would be your best advice to a couple of young 65yr olds, re travelling overland from Milan to Morocco? We are quite capable of completing such a trip……………….physically, but may not be well-enough prepared mentally.

All the best, stay safe & cheers, Dawn from Down Under

No I’m not still in Morocco. Travelling to Morocco from somewhere like Italy is no problem at all. The problems I faced were mainly in Morocco itself where you get lots of hassle. A totally different kind of hassle compared to Asia. I found that in Morocco people were constantly after your money and if you had no interest in giving it to them, they can sometimes become aggressive, particularly in Fez.

That said, Morocco was also a unique country that is worth a visit at least once.

Thank you for this valuable info. Adam. Gives us a more positive outlook on travelling to Morocco. Thank you for your time and patience. Thank you. Happy travels. Cheers from Dawn Down Under

Thanks so mich for your posting!! I was in Lisbon and looking for the way to go to Chefchaouen. And I did it just like as you wrote! Haha.(mine was a bit more tough bcuz I missed a bus from Seville because the first bus took my printed ticket) May I ask about your traveling route afterwards?:) I’m considering Fes, Merzouka and….have no idea haha; I prefer small town but going to fly out from Casablanca anyway. And….1 question, as a girl traveling by myself, is Fes really threatening? 🙁

Hi Jeesun. We went to Fez next and I regret that. I really don’t like Fez and I do think that it’s a bit over the top — you will be hassled. Doesn’t matter if you’re alone or not.

I really love Tinehir. Stay there a night or 2. Also really loved Mhamid right on the edge of the desert. Not too hard to get there.

Come October 2016 I will be travelling from Lisbon to Tangier and further into Morocco. It seems the bus is the best alternative. I would disagree with Adam (respectfully) as I have already visited Fez three times and can’t wait to return. Likewise I was advised NOT to enter Morocco via Tangier because it is a ‘den of thieves, murderers and robbers’! That is wrong. I was instantly well looked after by locals with respect to food, lodging and advice. Can’t wait to return. Always show respect and you will be respected.

Top 3 airlines serving from Portugal to Morocco

Adequate. You get what you pay for. Absolutely no frills but a cost effective way to travel between European countries.

Disastrous boarding. Entered air bridge only to descend stairs and enter a bus. Plane had insufficient storage, was old and chair recline was damaged. Air stewardess was sullen.

I wish to bring to your attention an incident involving a flight attendant that occurred on my recent journey. The attendant displayed a lack of courtesy, which was concerning. For instance, after accidentally spilling water on a passenger, the attendant dismissed the situation rather than offering a proper apology. Additionally, when I handed over my trash, the attendant reacted negatively because I placed a paper cup on the tray, she told me this doesn't go here and threw it back on my table. It was apparent that she was experiencing a challenging day, which unfortunately impacted the service provided to myself and other passengers. While I understand that everyone can have an off day, it is essential for customer-facing staff to seek support to manage personal stress without it affecting their professional responsibilities.

The flight crew was good, the flight itself was quick and comfortable

Boarding was late by 30 min due to a bus missing to take us to the plane... And then the flight was delayed by about 90 minutes, in a 60 min flight

Very agressive with bags both arrival and departures found minor damage to my luggage including my check bag being broken into nothing of value was in there so I do not believe anything was taken but definitely broken zipper into the outer pockets of suitcase

Everything was nearly perfect, and TAP staff were especially helpful when we missed our connecting flights and had to get on the next flight to Rome. The only aspect that could have been better was boarding: it was somewhat disorganized, which created a bit of stress. But in the end, everyone got on the plane, so the less-then-perfect boarding process did not take away from the overall excellent experience.

TAP Air makes you take a bus on arrival or departure, making it difficult for passengers to make connections.

Two of three flight attendants were not super kind as I would expect. The very kind young lady in my section was wonderful but then lady and man up front were not. Sorry but it makes a difference !

Great staff who were ready working with smile 6 in the morning on New Year’s Day. Although security checkpoint was way too busy, the airline staff were understanding and waited few minutes after boarding. We took off not only exactly on time, but arrived 20 minutes early. Two thumbs up!!!

Well Is extra charge for everything and other companies include that and the price.

Delayed and then further delayed with no announcement made so that all the passengers (who were standing in the jetty) could hear. We stood there for well over 20 minutes. We were further delayed through weather but no one explained that to us until the pilot made an announcement when finally on board

Comfort isn’t a word one uses on economy airlines! Boarding was okay, delayed but okay, the flight was good, quick and time was made up.

Boarding great. Didn’t eat or drink so can not comment.

With stairs on a rainy tarmac, EasyJet flights are ok for younger travelers with backpack only. Seniors with mobility issues find it challenging 😰. However, the crew and disability assistance folks at both ends eased that discomfort as much as possible for their various roles. Kudos to airport and EasyJet employees for their kind service.

Bohužel zpoždění let o více než 6 hod, způsobil, že jsme nestihli další let.

The flight boarded a little late but made up the time in flight - much appreciated. The staff were efficient and fairly friendly One of the toilets wasn’t working - having only one functioning toilet for a flight of hundreds isn’t really acceptable. I still find it amazing that the budget airlines can’t even offer free tap water to passengers.

Staff were lovely. Seats could be wider/ more comfortable and late taking off

50 minute of delay on a flight scheduled after 22pm is really annoying. This was even the only flight departing from Frankfurt Hahn on that evening so the delay was inexcusable

Good flight. Take off a little late but make up the time

It is standard with Ryanair, as FF with Ryanair you dont expect too much, and Ryanair never disappoints. At least it is reliable.

The flight was 45 mins delayed but the crew provided water and necessities like tissues

O voo atrasou um bom bocado A tripulação não era comunicativa,não fez vendas... Não abordava os passageiros... A 1°vez que me acontece tal coisa 🤷‍♀️

I hate Ryanair and have decided never to fly with them again, they treat you like animals on the way to slaughter and they never take responsibility for their errors and lousy service.

You get what you pay for with RyanAir. This was a €60 round trip from Stockholm and every piece of it was just excruciating, from the plane being delayed by more than an hour, to having to stand out on the tarmac in the darkness at 3C and wind to wait for the plane to disembark its previous flight (why they do this is just cruel), to the crew keeping the lights on the entire flight despite it being so late so they could walk through the aisles and try to sell things. I always say “never again!” after flying RyanAir, but somehow end up getting lured by the prices…

Is good airline but their check in process is not simple

I didn't like. The seats and the floor were very dirty and it is not the first time

I wouldn't like to fly with them anymore, I don't like their service, you can hardly take carry-on luggage because they charge you for everything, you can't ask for a glass of water, and the flight attendant tells you that they don't have any, that you have to Paying 3 euros for a bottle of water horrible, I don't recommend it, and they don't have anything low cost, because the plane ticket may not be expensive but what they charge you later for the rest, the flight becomes more expensive, it's the only airline that I don't like it so far, and I traveled a lot.

8 Day Road Trip from Portugal to Morocco

Got the travel bug, but pushed for time? Most of us would love to travel the world if it wasn’t for our busy schedules restricting our free time. Wouldn’t it be easier if we could somehow fit multiple destinations into one trip? Well, thankfully there is! The road trip is making a comeback , and it’s the perfect way to see the post-pandemic world. You can maintain strict hygiene standards and remain in a bubble of family or friends. We’ve put together an itinerary so that you can see two continents in one journey. With our road trip in Portugal, Spain & Morocco, you can tick all the boxes on your travel wish list and feel like you know our wide world a little better.

The first necessity of any road trip is hiring a car and we can help you do this with ease! Whether you prefer to drive yourself or travel by organised transfer, we can customise the trip to suit your needs. Contact us and we can get started planning all of the tedious details and you can look forward to whole heartedly enjoying the experience.

First stop: Lisbon

Start off in Portugal’s capital, as the diversity of things to do in Lisbon is sure to prepare you for the variety of sights you’ll see across three countries. In the city, you can uncover Lisbon’s vibrant food scene from excellent seafood, to underground Chinese restaurants and its famous Pastel del Natas at pretty much every bakery you come across. Jump on Lisbon’s iconic tram to discover the best sights in style, including Sao Jorge’s castle or Lisbon’s eclectic art scene at the Museum of Art. There’s no time for you to get bored in this lively city!

However, if you want to take things easy before your journey then Portugal’s Riviera is only thirty minutes away! What better way to relax before you hit the road, than sunning yourself on one of Portugal’s renowned beaches . Lisbon will have you spoilt for a choice of exciting things to do, so thankfully it’s only just the beginning of your road trip in Portugal, Spain & Morocco.

Second Stop: Sintra and Cascais

Sintra and Cascais are must-see destinations, located just a thirty-minute drive outside of Lisbon. Sintra will easily stand out on this tour for its sheer fantastical beauty, with the Palacio de Pena situated on the village’s highest hill. Looking like it’s straight out of a fairy tale, you’ll fall under its magic spell. Especially when you take in the impressive view of the Castelo dos Mouro from the mountaintop!

Sintra is one of the most picturesque settings in Portugal so don’t miss your chance to take in its enchanting charm! Just a fifteen minute drive from Sintra is Cascais, a fishing town located on Lisbon’s coastline. Although the views are very different from Sintra, they are equally as stunning. Cascais is now a popular resort town for tourists, with excellent beaches and a historic centre. The buzz of holiday makers might just make you want to stay, but we promise the next stop on your journey won’t disappoint!

Worried about how to fit your sight seeing into the schedule? Get in touch and we’ll customise private tours just for you.

Third Stop: Visit the Alentejo region before heading to Seville

Seville is the capital of Andalusia and one of Spain’s most popular holiday destinations. By car, it will take just under five hours to get to. We promise it’s worth it! But if you wanted to break up the journey you can stop off in Portugal’s Alentejo region , known for its historical landscape and secluded beaches. Visit Evora , one of the best-preserved medieval cities in Portugal or enjoy the peaceful tranquillity of Serpa.

Fourth Stop: Seville

When you get to Seville, there’ll be no shortage of things to do. It may be famous for its oranges, but there’s so much more to this city then its marmalade exports. Get stuck into the main attractions by visiting Seville’s magnificent Cathedral and the exotic beauty of The Real Alcazar, the recent filming location for Game of Thrones. After this, you can wander through the narrow streets of the old Jewish quarter (Santa Cruz) or take a stroll in one of Seville’s many luscious parks. Over the river, you can explore Triana, famous for flamenco and tapas. Enjoy the sunset as it stretches over the city, especially from one of the city’s many rooftop bars. If you really want to stretch those legs, take a bike tour of the city! It’s the essential mode of transport in Seville, so you’ll get the full local experience.

Fifth Stop: Ronda and Zahara

After wandering through the bright and tropical plazas of Seville, the landscape of Andalusia’s white villages will be a different change of scene. Just an hour and forty five minute drive from Seville, you can discover the geological wonder of Ronda . The city is uniquely divided into two halves by the Guadalevin river. The El Tajo canyon is 100 meters deep and provides one of the most extraordinary views in Spain. Make sure you pack your selfie stick, because you’re going to want to get this backdrop for your Instagram! If you’re not afraid of heights, then wander over the New Bridge that spans the cannon and take in the breath taking beauty of the Sierre de las Nieves Natural Park. A forty-five drive from Ronda is Zahara de la Sierra, here you’ll see a true ‘pueblos blancos’. The white villages nestled into the mountains are a truly spectacular view! Make sure to catch a glimpse of them on your road trip.

Sixth Stop: Malaga

A two hour drive from Zahara will take you to the popular city of Malaga. Why not get a guided transfer and receive tips from a local guide?

It may be known for its nightlife, but there’s lots more than meets the eye to Spain’s party capital. With around fifteen beaches to choose from, there’s plenty of space for you to relax and take in the sun. There’s also some significant historical sites, such as the Renaissance style Cathedral, Picasso Museum and Roman theatre. For something different, you can walk through the Botanic Garden which houses species from over four continents! Make the most of this eclectic city by staying overnight and experience the famous side of the city by night.

Seventh Stop: Tarifa and Tangier

It’s time to head to the third country on this tour, Morocco! Perhaps the easiest way to get there from Malaga is to head to Tarifa. Known as the windy city of Spain, this destination is hugely popular with wind surfers. So, if you like water sports this is the perfect place for you! The relaxed ambience of the beachside town is the perfect stop to pause and take in the best view of Africa from Europe. It’s from Tarifa’s port that you can take a ferry to Morocco and experience one of the highlights of this road trip in Portugal, Spain & Morocco!

The journey only takes one hour, and soon enough you can explore Tangier’s bustling port and explore the vibrant bazar to pick up the perfect souvenir of your trip. Tangier is the perfect day trip so after you’ve browsed you can take the gentle ferry back to Tarifa, and maybe catch the last few rays of the sun at the beach!

Eighth Stop: The Algarve and Return to Lisbon

It’s time to head back to Lisbon, we hope you enjoyed your trip! Before you get there though, make sure to rest and relax in the Algarve. The Algarve is the second least expensive holiday destination in Europe, which is no surprise since the cost of satisfaction with sun, sea and sand is pretty low. What better way to finish your road trip in Portugal, Spain & Morocco than on Portugal’s world-renowned southern coastline?

From Faro, the Algarve’s culturally rich city with a number of beaches in close proximity you can recharge and refuel for your return to Lisbon. Your drive back will take just under three hours along the A2, with plenty of stops along the way if you’re not quite ready to go home!

We hope we’ve made it a little easier to begin planning your adventure. For car hire and tour assistance, contact us and we’ll handle all the little details. We will ensure you get the best rates available, as well as top quality. All you’ll need to bring is an open mind and the willingness to explore!

I want visit Portugal

All very good, but there are no passenger or car ferry’s from Spain and have not been for about 14 months. Ferry from Sete in France opened last week as did from Genoa In Italy. Rumours of ferry from Portmao in Portugal to Tangier possibly starting 1st week July (the notification doesn’t state which year and knowing Morocco everything is rather sketchy) I’ve been stuck in Fez with my car for 15 months waiting for ports to open The problem has not only been COVID related bet also Morocco and Spain are in disagreement politically so there is no end of dispute in sight and no Ceuta border crossing or ferry’s to and from Spain.

Good luck in reorganising travel arrangements and suggest you look at Trip Advisor forum for Morocco, Regards

You are very right and things don’t look good for now.:( We hope they can solve their political issues and this route can continue. I wish you all the best!

The Perfect Spain, Portugal, Morocco Itinerary for 2 Weeks

11 Comments on The Perfect Spain, Portugal, Morocco Itinerary for 2 Weeks

Trying to plan the perfect vacation in Spain, Portugal, and Morocco? We’re here to help! This 2-week Spain, Portugal, Morocco itinerary is a whirl-wind adventure. It takes you from the tiled streets of Lisbon, Portugal to the dreamy pueblos blancos in southern Spain , ending in the majestic, maze-like medinas in Morocco.

We’ve planned it, personally traveled it, and have laid out the details of our Portugal, Spain, Morocco itinerary to make your trip-planning a breeze.

About this Spain, Portugal, Morocco itinerary

a beautiful street in cordoba, spain, an easy stop on a portugal spain morocco itinerary

A vacation to the Iberian peninsula, which encompasses Portugal and Spain, is sure to be filled with fun, sun, and lots of sangria and tapas.

With only a mile of water separating the southern tip of Spain from Morocco, the north African country makes for an easy addition to any Iberian itinerary.

Although we planned and did everything on our own, if you prefer a guided tour over a self-guided one, there are a variety of tour companies that offer similar itineraries for Spain, Portugal and Morocco.

For example, this multi-day guided Spain and Portugal itinerary can be paired with this Morocco itinerary to create a full 2 week itinerary for Portugal, Spain and Morocco.

Another option is to do a portion of the trip self-guided and then take a few day trips or guided adventures for the other destinations. You may feel totally fine doing the European portion on your own, but prefer a guided tour of Morocco .

How to get around using this Spain, Portugal, Morocco itinerary

Following this itinerary will take you by plane, train, metro, bus, rental car, taxi, and even ferry. The transportation element of this itinerary was the most confusing aspect when planning our Spain, Portugal, Morocco trip.

So, we’ve taken the headache out of the equation, providing links to all the places where you can book transportation and when you will need it.

First, if following this Portugal, Spain, Morocco itinerary, plan to fly into Lisbon, Portugal and out of Tangier, Morocco .

We use Google Flights to find the cheapest flight information.

Be sure to search for both open-jaw flights and one way flights to see which option is the cheapest. Once you find the flights that work best, we always recommend booking flights directly through the airline itself.

You’ll be able to travel around Lisbon and to the mountain town of Sintra using public transportation that you can book when you arrive in Lisbon. However, you’ll need a rental car to travel between Lisbon and Albufeira and Faro, Portugal .

It is possible to take a bus from Lisbon to Faro, but you will want a car to travel freely along the Algarve coast.

We use DiscoverCars to compare rates and book cars when road tripping in Europe .

Keep in mind, many of the cheapest cars to rent in Europe are manual transmissions, so if you cannot drive a stick-shift vehicle, be sure to select automatic only when searching for cars.

From Faro, Portugal to Seville, Spain you will need to take a bus , as there are no trains connecting the two cities.

Driving your rental car to Seville is an alternative option, but there are significant fees added when you drive a rental car across a border and drop it off in a different country than you picked it up in.

You’ll save hundreds of dollars by taking the bus. The buses are nice and roomy.

You can check the bus times, ticket costs and book directly at FlixBus .

In Seville, you can get by mainly on foot since you will primarily be exploring the city center and old town area if you follow our Spain, Portugal, Morocco itinerary.

When you leave Seville to head to Cordoba, Ronda, and to Tarifa to board the ferry to Morocco, you will travel by train. You will take the train from Seville to Cordoba, Cordoba to Ronda, and Ronda to Tarifa .

You can review the train timetables and book your tickets at RailEurope.com .

Mother and daughter on the ferry to Morocco from Spain as part of a Spain Portugal Morocco itinerary

The ferry is the easiest way to get between Spain and Morocco. There are two ferry ports in Spain and two near Tangier, Morocco. You want to be sure to go to the right one, which will save you a lot of time and frustration.

Book your train ticket through to Tarifa, Spain rather than Algeciras. You will catch the ferry in Tarifa.

Both Tarifa and Algeciras have ports with ferries that take you to Morocco, but Algeciras is a much longer ordeal, as the ferries are primarily transporting those in vehicles driving onto the ferry.

The port in Tarifa is primarily for those walking onto the ferry, so the wait time and process is much smoother.

You will have to transfer trains in Algeciras to get to Tarifa but it is well worth the extra stop and could potentially save you hours of time. The ferry from Tarifa will drop you off at the port in Tangier , as well, whereas the Algeciras ferry docks at Tangier Med which is located about 30 minutes outside of Tangier.

You can book your ferry from Tarifa on Viator.com .

Taxi/Private Transfer

When you arrive in Morocco, the easiest way to get between cities is to take a taxi or private transfer service.

You can book your transfer to Chefchaouen directly online , or when you arrive at the ferry port, you’ll find plenty of taxi drivers who will also be willing to make the trip to Chefchaouen.

Safety and Health Information

Health and safety are the most important things to consider when booking a family trip. Fortunately, we felt safe in every part of Portugal, Spain and Morocco that we visited.

Personal Safety

Although Morocco can be intimidating for solo female travelers who might experience unwanted attention from men, it is a different story if visiting Morocco with kids .

Moroccans are very family-oriented and children are doted on, stopped on the street, and blessed, particularly by Moroccan women. This may be somewhat disquieting for children who do not like attention or have a fear of strangers, however we never felt unsafe. In fact, our daughter loved the extra attention.

Vaccinations

Any time you travel internationally, you’ll want to make sure your vaccinations are up-to-date. You’ll also want to check each country’s entry requirements regarding vaccinations, as those may differ and change over time.

Drinking water

The drinking water or tap water in Portugal and Spain is safe to consume, but you will want to stick to purchasing bottled water in Morocco and avoid eating raw fruits that have been washed in the tap water. We even used bottled water to brush our teeth, although that isn’t considered necessary. It was more of a precaution we took to avoid “traveler’s tummy”.

Unfortunately, it is quite common to experience tummy issues like traveler’s diarrhea in Morocco, and we were not taking any chances. For this reason, we recommend purchasing travel insurance through a reputable company like Hey Mondo .

Again, health and safety information is always changing, so we always recommend checking with the state department in your country for travel advisories for each location.

Spain and Portugal both use the Euro and credit cards are widely accepted . Although, some places have a minimum purchase amount required if using a credit card.

When getting cash in a new currency, we recommend using an ATM and paying the minimal foreign transaction fee rather than using a currency exchange kiosk. Your bank will typically give you a much better exchange rate.

In Morocco, you will want to take out some Moroccan dirham , as many businesses and vendors in the medinas don’t accept credit cards when purchasing Moroccan souvenirs . You’ll find an ATM at the ferry ports, as well as the airports if you choose to fly.

Be sure to check the currency exchange so you have a general idea on how much money to withdraw.

Visa requirements

Visa requirements will vary depending on your country of origin. Travelers from the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, and the European Union do not need visas for a Spain, Portugal, Morocco trip.

Your passport and proof of onward travel is all you will need to visit any of these three countries.

However, beginning in 2024, US citizens will have to register and pay a fee to travel to Europe .

Best time of the year to travel to Spain Portugal and Morocco

We did this 2-week Spain, Portugal Morocco itinerary during the summer months – in July and August specifically. It was the peak tourism season in Europe, so many places were crowded.

Additionally, summer in southern Spain and Morocco can be extremely hot.

Although the off-season would be more pleasant and less crowded, it isn’t always feasible for families like ours with school-aged children.

Late spring or early fall would be a much more pleasant time to visit these three countries, if your schedule allows.

2-week Spain, Portugal, Morocco itinerary in a nutshell

Although this 2-week itinerary for Spain, Portugal and Morocco takes you to all three countries, you will only get a small taste of each country.

You could easily spend 2 weeks in Spain alone marking incredible experiences off your Spain bucket list and visiting some of the many hidden gems of Spain .

You could also spend a full 2 weeks exploring all the best places to visit in Morocco or Portugal and still not cover them all.

With a limited time split between three destinations, here is a breakdown of our 2-week Spain, Portugal, Morocco itinerary.

Lisbon, Portugal: 3 days (with a day trip to Sintra)
Albufeira and the Algarve coast: 2 days
Seville, Spain: 3 days
Cordoba, Spain: 2 days
Ronda, Spain: 1 day
Chefchaouen, Morocco: 2 days
Tangier, Morocco: 1 day

We have included other alternative itineraries at the end of this post so you can choose the route for your Spain, Portugal, Morocco trip that is right for you.

Algarve Coast, Portugal

Inside Benagil Cave, one of the most popular places to visit on the Algarve Coast.

Where to stay along the Algarve Coast: Hotel Sol e Mar Albufeira

From Lisbon and Sintra, you’ll head to the Algarve Coast. You’ll want to pick up a rental car to drive to southern Portugal where you’ll have a relaxing couple of days at the beach.

Remember to compare rental car prices online before you book. When picking up a rental car in Lisbon, keep in mind the city is very hilly, so an automatic transmission is beneficial unless you are very comfortable driving a standard transmission.

The Algarve Coast in southern Portugal is a popular beach destination in Europe. You can spend a couple days relaxing on the beach, playing in the ocean, and enjoying seafood and refreshing drinks in the picturesque seaside villages.

The Algarve is known for its pristine white villages perched upon low cliffs overlooking beach coves of white sand . Some popular beach towns to visit and explore include Lagos and Albufeira.

If you rent a car and drive from Lisbon, take a scenic drive along the southern coast, stopping to visit various beaches like Praia Da Rocha and Praia Da Marinh a.

To top off your short time in the Algarve, book a guided tour to Benagil Cave , a stunning seaside cave accessible by boat. It is one of the most popular attractions in Portugal.

Additionally, if you have more time and enjoy traveling at a slower pace, you could tack on a few extra days in this peaceful coastal area.

Here are a few highlights along the Algarve Coast:

Beach hopping
Benagil Cave
Albufeira

Seville, Spain

A bridge over the man-made canal in Plaza de Espana

Where to stay in Seville, Spain: Eme Catedral Hotel

Your next destination on this Spain, Portugal, Morocco itinerary takes you to the beautiful Andalusia city of Seville. You’ll want to give yourself at least 3 days in Seville , as well.

The city is known for its tapas, flamenco shows, and relaxed atmosphere. In the heart of the city, you’ll find an extravagant Moorish royal palace, the Real Alcazar , that dates back to 1248.

Seville is also home to one of the largest and most famous cathedrals in Europe if not the world. Climb the Giralda Tower at the Seville Cathedral for panoramic views of Seville.

You’ll also want to build in some time to explore Plaza de Espana and relax at the neighboring Maria Luisa Park .

Additionally, you will also want to spend time simply wandering the streets of the lovely Santa Cruz neighborhood, or book a guided walking tour to learn more about the history of the area. Once the old Jewish quarter of the city, Santa Cruz is notable for its winding alleys with rod iron balconies and hidden squares.

After your days of sightseeing, enjoy some free time during the Spanish siesta in the afternoons to regain your energy and avoid the peak heat hours.

In Spain, it is important to build in downtime during the siesta hour . Not only do many businesses shut down for a few hours during the afternoon, but you’ll likely be staying up later than usual in Spain.

Most people in Spain do not eat dinner until after 8. This is also when many flamenco shows and tapas tours take place.

Plan for at least one or two late nights of delectable tapas, sangria, and flamenco performances.

Here are a few highlights and things to do in Seville, Spain:

Seville Cathedral
Real Alcazar
Plaza de Espana
Barrio Santa Cruz
Flamenco Show

Chefchaouen, Morocco

Where to stay in Chefchaouen, Morocco: Riad La Santa

After two nights in Ronda, it is time to catch a train, and then a ferry from Spain to Morocco.

As an alternative, you could also take the train back to Seville and fly to Morocco instead, if you don’t want the hassle of the ferry. This might be a better option particularly if you are planning to visit Morocco with kids , as long travel days tend to wear out children quicker.

If you prefer to fly, consider flying in and out of Fes instead of Tangier. Fes is the cultural capital of Morocco and one of the best places to visit in the country .

Once in Tangier (or Fes), you’ll want to have pre-arranged transportation to Chefchaouen .

Known as the Blue Pearl of Morocco, Chefchaouen is one of the prettiest cities in the north African country. Situated in the Rif Mountains, the city is known for its charming, pastel blue medina.

Spend a day letting yourself get lost in the narrow streets of the medina, take photos of the beautiful doors and eye-catching nooks and side streets.

Shop and haggle in the souk market for your souvenirs from Morocco , and then hike to the old Spanish Mosque for enchanting views overlooking this blue city.

To get the full Moroccan experience, book your stay in a riad, which is a traditional Moroccan home with a shared interior courtyard.

Here are a few highlights and things to do in Chefchaouen, Morocco:

Explore the blue medina
Do a photo shoot
Visit the souk market
Hike to the Spanish Mosque

Located right on the coast, Tangier is a great place to end your whirlwind Spain, Portugal, Morocco itinerary. You can spend the day relaxing at the beach, or exploring Tangier’s medina and Kasbah.

Just outside of town, Hercules Caves are a popular tourist site.

To maximize your time in Tangier, it’s worth booking a full-day tour with a guide who can show you the highlights of Morocco’s gateway town to Europe.

Wander the streets of the medina
Relax at the beach
Visit the Kasbah museum

Other Spain Portugal Morocco itinerary ideas

We considered several different itineraries for Spain, Portugal, Morocco, so we wanted to provide a few additional options that might better suit your travel style.

#1 Alternative itinerary for Spain Portugal Morocco trip (staying in fewer places with day trips)

This itinerary allows you to skip the rental car and bus, and take an overnight sleeper train from Lisbon to Madrid, although you’ll be missing the scenic beaches along the Algarve coast.

This alternative Portugal, Spain, Morocco itinerary also allows you to stay in one place for longer and take more day trips.

You can take day trips from Lisbon , Madrid, and Seville.

You can even book a day trip from Seville to Tangier, Morocco if you just want to visit Morocco for a day or still plan to fly out of Tangier and take a day trip to Chefchaouen .

Lisbon, Portugal: 4 days (with a day trip to Sintra )
Madrid, Spain: 3 days (with a day trip to Toledo )
Seville, Spain: 5 days (with a day trip to Ronda and a day trip to Cordoba )
Tangier, Morocco: 2 days (with a day trip to Chefchaouen )

#2 Alternative itinerary for Portugal Spain and Morocco (if Barcelona is a must-visit)

Spain bucket list - Park Guell in Barcelona

It is tough to visit Spain and not visit the beautiful city of Barcelona. However, Spain is a large country and getting to Barcelona in the northeast portion of Spain takes some time.

You can elect to fly between Madrid and Barcelona or take a train. You can also elect to fly between Barcelona and either Tangier or Marrakech, Morocco, if you prefer flights to trains or road trips.

Lisbon, Portugal: 3 days (with a day trip to Sintra )
Madrid, Spain: 2 days (with a day trip to Toledo )
Barcelona, Spain: 3 days
Valencia, Spain: 1 days
Seville, Spain: 3 days

Is a 2 week trip to Spain, Portugal and Morocco enough?

If you prefer slow travel over a whirlwind trip, 2 weeks is not enough time to visit and truly appreciate Portugal, Spain and Morocco. In 2 weeks, it is a challenge to see more than a small region in each country.

It’s a challenge to get to cities like Marrakesh or Barcelona without spending too much of your time in a car or train. But this itinerary gives you a small taste of each of the countries with a good portion of your time spent in my favorite region of Spain, Andalusia.

You’ll return home having had a wonderful trip and wanting to return to each country to explore more!

11 comments on “The Perfect Spain, Portugal, Morocco Itinerary for 2 Weeks”

Wonderful information! I am planning a 2023 Spain,Portugal,Morocco trip for 7 active seniors (72 average). We can go anytime of year to save money and best weather. Highlights we would like – flying into Madrid,seeing Marrakesh and Casablanca. Any thoughts? Also would it be difficult to rent a car that could accommodate 7 people?

We were able to rent a car for 7 in Portugal, so I bet it is possible in Spain, as well. We used Sixt for our car rental, if that helps. In Morocco, we hired a driver/transport service, which was also able to accommodate 7 passengers. If your trip is 14 days long, I would probably do 3 days in Madrid (with a day trip to Toledo), 4 days in Seville (with a day trip to Cordoba or Ronda), 1 full travel day from Seville to Casablanca arriving at night for a total of 2 days/3 nights, and 3 days in Marrakesh. You could also add one night in Cadiz along the south coast of Spain if you plan to take the ferry across to Tangier. Hope that helps!

Tell me more about that tour for a single man in April or may 2023.

Single heathy age 60.

Hello how do I book any of these or do you just go? Thanks Di Matthews, Qld, australia

I just read about this route and would like to know more. My wife’s 50th birthday comes up in Dec so trying to see where we could have a great celebration.

Would like to know how much and how do we get there?

Amazing post ! thanks for sharing worth visiting article us and very informative

We are very much interested in such tours. Nice and detailed post. But if we don’t have 2 weeks. How can we make it enjoyable in 10 days, plus we are 6 adults, Me, my wife and 4 children of 19 to 25 year. Thirdly how can we apply for Visa from Pakistan.

Thanks so much for this itinerary. It makes planning for our trips so much easier. I appreciate very much.

Thank you so much for this! It is SO helpful – especially for those of us with kiddos! I am wondering if you might be willing to provide an overall cost- I know this cost will vary depending on where we are flying from, cost of items today vs. when you traveled but an estimate would be helpful if even as a starting point! Thank you!

What type of transportation did you take from Portugal to Spain? Train, plane, car ? We are finding little offered between the two. Thanks

We rented a car and drove from Lisbon to the Algarve, then dropped off our rental car in Faro and took a bus from Faro, Portugal to Seville, Spain.

An underwater tunnel could connect Europe to Africa by 2030 – at a cost of a £5.1bn

Crossing aims to open in time for morocco, portugal and spain to host the fifa world cup – but regular seismic activity poses a risk, article bookmarked.

The tunnel would cross the Strait of Gibraltar from Tarifa, Spain to Tangier, Morrocco

A new 17-mile underwater tunnel could link Europe ’s high-speed rail network to North Africa by 2030 – if a €6bn proposal goes ahead.

The tunnel would introduce a high-speed train service by connecting Spain ’s existing rail lines to Morocco’ s 200mph Al Boraq route that opened in 2018.

A route departing Madrid , Spain, for Casablanca, Morocco, would travel via Algeciras and Tangier and pass under the Strait of Gibraltar.

While an average flight from Madrid to Casablanca clocks in at one hour and 50 minutes, the full train journey would reportedly take travellers five hours and 30 minutes to switch continents.

Now strategic planning is underway, developers hope the tunnel could open in just six years, in time for the three countries – Spain, Portugal and Morocco – to host the 2030 Fifa World Cup.

It is estimated that the project would cost north of €6 billion (£5.1 billion) to construct, although official costs are unknown.

The Spanish government confirmed €‎2.3 million (£2 million) EU feasibility funding to study the ‘ Europe-Africa Gibraltar strait fixed link ’ just last June.

At the time, Spain’s transport minister, Raquel Sanchez, said: “We are going to give impetus to the studies of a project of maximum geostrategic importance for our countries and for relations between Europe and Africa,

“We are beginning a new stage in the revival of the fixed link project across the Strait of Gibraltar, which we launched in 1981, hand in hand.”

The revived project was first seriously proposed over 40 years ago, in 1979, and could resemble the Channel Tunnel between Dover and Calais.

Surveys of the area by the Moroccan National Company for Strait Studies (SNED) and the Spanish Society for Fixed Communication Studies across the Strait of Gibraltar (SECEGSA) have also revealed several logistical challenges.

At its deepest, the strait dives 2,950ft (900m) down and regular seismic activity on the Azores–Gibraltar geologic fault presents an additional risk.

According to SECEGSA, over 12.8 million passengers per year could benefit from the crossing as well as an increase in trade of 13 million tons of cargo between the two continents if the tunnel is successful.

Port of Call Port of Call (Arrival, Departure)

Barcelona is a charming, cosmopolitan port on the shores of the Mediterranean sea. This prosperous and bilingual (Spanish and Catalan) metropolis measures up to a city such as Madrid: its museums, theaters, art galleries and nightlife area of an impressive high standard. Besides that, this art and design centre has a lot of interesting sights to offer to its visitors. The best place to watch people go by, to stroll or simply relax, is 'Las Ramblas', a pedestrian street with dozens of outdoor cafes. Here, you’ll find flower-stands, book kiosks and small market stalls where they sell birds and small animals. You’ll also find an endlessly fascinating flowing receptacle of pageant-jugglers, singers, dancers, puppeteers, sidewalk artists, living statues and assorted oddballs on parade. Nearby is 'Plaça Real', with plenty of bars and restaurants, and 'Palau Guell', built by the Catalan architectural genius Antoni Gaudi in his undulating art-nouveau style. After having seen these sights, stroll the narrow winding streets of the 'Barri Gotic', the medieval Gothic quarter full of interesting tapas bars and cafes. Check out Picasso’s old hangout, 'Els Quatre Gats', which has been renovated without losing its bohemian charm. Or head for the old Barceloneta section on the waterfront. This working-class area, which was always slightly rundown and scruffy-looking, is now packed with paella restaurants. The new beach area, which runs from Barceloneta to the Olympic village, is much cleaner than the old beach area. Although some people believe that it has been cleaned up considerably, it might be a wise idea to stay out of the water. Fortunately, the beach itself is already a feast for the eyes (and ears), with its huge and roaring waves.

The city of Cadiz, which practically accounts for the whole of the municipal area, lies to the east of the bay of the same name, in an area which could be described as half island, half peninsula, connected to the mainland by a slender, sandy strip. Its situation is responsible for its obvious maritime tendencies, and it has been totally dedicated to seafaring pursuits since its foundation. The Phoenicians, Greeks, Romans and Arabs all passed through what is believed to be the western world’s oldest city, and it was here that Spain’s first democratic Constitution was drawn up. Despite its essentially urban nature, it also boasts areas of natural interest, such as the beaches of La Cortadura and El Chato, as well as Santibanez Mud Flats, which are part of Cadiz Bay Natural Park. The city, popularly known as “La Tacita de Plata” (The Silver Cup), has an unmistakable marine flavour, and its people are famous for their good humour and hospitality, as witnessed by the famous carnival; it boasts monuments of great interest, such as the Cathedral, the city walls, Holy Cross Parish Church, the Genoese Park, Puerta de la Caleta, etc. All places of indubitable charm, to which we must add the city’s cuisine and beaches, famous for their beauty, such as La Caleta, Santa Maria del Mar and La Victoria. History This legendary city was founded by the Phoenicians in 1100, although the oldest archaeological remains date back to around 800 B.C. Mythology links its foundation with Hercules and the legendary Tartessia. The Phoenicians called the city Gadir, meaning “closed area”. They built a commercial factory and a temple in honour of the god Melkart In 206 B.C. it was joined with Rome as an allied city under the name Gades. This was the start of one of the most prosperous periods in Cadiz’s history, and it became one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire. In the Imperial age, it was known as “Augusta Urbs Julia Gaditana”. Its inhabitants were soon granted Roman citizenship. When the Moslem invasions began in the 8th century, it provided the armies with significant support by facilitating their passage, though it soon suffered a decline in importance which would prevail until the Christian conquest and re-settlement at the hands of Alfonso X, known as The Wise, between 1260 and 1262. During the 15th century, the city’s economic activity was based essentially on sea commerce, particularly in North Africa. In 1493, the Catholic Monarchs made Cadiz Crown property; it had belonged to the Ponce de Leon estate since 1470. With the discovery of America, Cadiz’s rise to greatness began, culminating in the 18th century. Its natural conditions meant that whenever it was impossible for ships to berth in Seville, they could do so in Cadiz. In 1717, Seville’s Contracting House was moved to Cadiz, the monopoly of American trade travelling with it; however, this situation was short-lived, as the concession to trade with the New World was extended to twelve ports in 1778. The town centre was consolidated in the 18th and 19th centuries, when urban renovation was carried out and most of the monuments and buildings that we know today were built. La Isla del Leon, now San Fernando, was the setting for the earliest meetings of the famous Cadiz Cortes, general constituent assemblies set up to provide Spain with a Constitution during the war of independence. Fleeing from the French, the Government took refuge near Cadiz, the only stronghold that the French were unable to capture during the whole of the war. Between 1810 and 1811, Government assemblies took place in La Isla de Leon Theatre; in February 1811, the proximity of Napoleon’s troops forced them to move to San Felipe de Neri Church in Cadiz, returning once more to La Isla de Leon before finally making their definitive journey back to Madrid in 1813. After the war, the city continued at the vanguard of liberalism, with its support for Riego in 1820 and its leading role in the face of the French invasion in 1823. In a similar vein, Cadiz was at the forefront of the 1868 uprising. At the end of the 19th century, the city’s economic decline began. A series of events including the loss of the colonial market, culminating in the 1898 Disaster, and the African War, among others, ushered in a crisis that was to have grave consequences.

Lisbon is Portugal’s hilly, coastal capital city. From imposing São Jorge Castle, the view encompasses the old city’s pastel-colored buildings, Tagus Estuary and Ponte 25 de Abril suspension bridge. Nearby, the National Azulejo Museum displays 5 centuries of decorative ceramic tiles. Just outside Lisbon is a string of Atlantic beaches, from Cascais to Estoril.

Porto is the second largest city in Portugal. The greatest sites in Porto are its five bridges, three modern, two nineteenth century and all of them sensational. The valleys and tributaries that run along them form some of the most spectacular landscapes in the the country. The wealth that flowed into the city from the 15th century onward is evidenced throughout Porto. Trade in the commodities from Portugal’s newly claimed lands brought Brazilian gold and exotic woods to embellish Porto’s many elaborate churches and palaces. Prosperous merchants spent lavishly on paintings and the ever famous azulejos. The true fascination with Porto lies very much in the day-to-day life of the place, with its prosperous business core surrounded by well to do suburbs as well as depressed housing estates, tempered by a heart of cramped streets and ancient alleys wholly untouched by the planners. Porto is renowned for the great variety of light, fresh and often fizzy wines as well as the heavyweight Port wines. Vinho verde ‘sparkling wine’, is grown in the northwest. Country wines from the northeast are made in the area between the Spanish border to the north and east and four mountain ranges to the west. The Vinho verde region is best known for its slightly under-ripe wines, with a slightly sparkling character. They are mainly white, and the best are made from the alvarinho grape, as well as the azal, ljurerio and rabigato. Wines from the Douro region are beginning to be accepted as some of Portugal’s finest. Although excellent white wines are produced here, the area is best known for its great reds. The accommodations in Porto range from inexpensive rooms (south east of Sao Bento station) that will fit just about any budget to more expensive places around the city. They are generally a good value but in winter investing in a more expensive place with better facilities to counter the freezing cold is worth the a little extra.

At the crossroads of Africa and Europe, the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, Tangier has an individual character. It is one of the oldest cities in Morocco. The Phoenicians and Carthaginians established trading posts here. The Romans made it a capital city. It was occupied by the Arabs and invaded by Vandals and Visigoths. Before the Spanish, the Portuguese controlled the town. In the early part of the 20th century, Tangier was an international city whose tax-free status and cosmopolitan image attracted European and American artists and writers. Although it has lost a little of its glamorous image, it is still a bustling city with an air of mystery surrounding it. For most visitors that arrive in Morocco by sea, it is their first point of contact with the country. The town beach has a great setting: it makes up a several kilometer long curve with the white houses of Tangier as a frame before it ends in the barren mountains of which there is nothing further north than sea and the European continent. One of the main centers of afternoon and early evening activities in Tangier is along the beach walk. Activities here are rather common, people walk up and down this avenue size street, looking at people and allowing others to look at them. There are several Atlantic beaches west of Tangier, which all offer a good alternative to the town beach. The setting of these beaches can be most attractive, with mountains on all sides, yet with a wide and clean beach with all necessary amenities. The medina of Tangier is a real one: Streets are narrow, houses in many different styles, and most of this medina is in good condition. That is a proof that even people with some money both live and work here. The medina is quite big, and there are many commercial areas. Most of these serve the tourist traffic, and it is more difficult to find any areas where real handcraft is performed.
