Crossing from Tarifa, we are steps away from Tangier's old medina. We however are skipping Tangier entirely. Just as we passed through Tarifa, we will pass through Tangier. Many folks visit Morocco from Spain via a day-trip to Tangier, often as a highly touristy package tour. But we wanted to really see Morocco, not just this made-for-tourists port. So we skipped the medina and made a beeline for the train station.
