I am interested too. From the quick search I have done, it appears the ferry schedules don’t jive with my cruise ship schedule. So wondering if there is another way?

Is there a ferry from Malaga to Tangier?????

 

The nearest I'm aware of are the traditional ferries from Algeciras (near Gibraltar) to Tangier-Med (an industrial port about an hour's bus ride from Tangier) or the fast-ferry from Tarifa (beyond Gibraltar) to Tangier town.

Because of the travel to port, neither will fit a port-of-call visit to Malaga.

 

Via Tarifa is possible from a long port-of-call day at Gib (early start & mid-late evening sailing) but it's a bit complicated - book a Tangier excursion from one of the Costa del Sol resorts but arrange to meet the coach group at Tarifa port. Take a short bus or taxi ride from ship to Gib/Spain border, cross on foot, Spanish taxi 26 miles to Tarifa to meet the group at the fast-ferry. Same routine from Tarifa back to the ship.

Thank you, that was very helpful. Have a good evening!

Yes, thank-you, John Bull. Hoping for another option, but confirms my research. Just too far to travel and catch those ferries from

Gibraltar. Maybe next cruise!

A good excuse to return :)

A pretty easy & tolerably inexpensive way to visit Tangier from Spain - coach excursions start from close to Malaga (but at daft o'clock in the morning) & pick up at various resorts along the coast. Then on the fast-ferry on foot, a walking tour of Tangier concentrating on the big soukh (this is where the guide & his helpers are a great boon, guiding you thro the alleyways & fending off the persistent street-vendors. Lunch included. Then coach tour of the surrounding area, then back to the ferry & arriving at your Spanish resort mid to late evening..

The excursion ticket costs little more than a ferry ticket.
