At the campsite I chatted with a Swiss couple driving a very nice 70 series land cruiser converted into a camper van. They were on the last leg of their trip having explored eastern Morocco. A few years earlier they had visited Mauritania - now there is an other interesting trip.

The next day I headed off at day break taking the motorway towards Casablanca and on to Tangiers. The motorway passed some interesting rock formations between Marrakesh and Casablanca. Further up the coast I drove past some covered banana plantations. I arrived at Bab Sebta at around 6.00pm and crossed the border without any delay. I drove straight to the port and onto the ferry to Algeciras. That night I camped in the Lidl car park alongside several motor homes.
On the way up through Spain I stopped in Toledo, Spain's arsenal of old, for two nights. It is a magnificent city to visit. And you can wild camp for free in the large car park across the road from the bus station. There were as many as ten camper vans there.

From Toledo, Santander was a five hour drive away.
This was a really great trip. I'll go back at some point as I am keen to explore Western Sahara and points further south.
