Frequently Asked Questions

At the España quay, which almost touches the centre. A hundred metres separate the gangway from the first shopping streets, and the Paseo del Revellín is under ten minutes' walk away.
To Spain, though its quays sit on the African shore, a few kilometres from Morocco. That is what gives the call its character: you spend a day walking the exact line where two worlds meet.
The structure that sums up the city's history: foundations from the 10th century reinforced first by the Portuguese and then the Spanish, with a 300-metre seawater moat still washing the bastions. You can walk the ramparts and their vaulted passages.
The constant traffic of ferries linking Europe and Africa, exactly as the sentries of old watched the Strait of Gibraltar.
The drawing room of the old town, where the cathedral of Saint Mary of the Assumption raises its pale façade among official buildings and palm trees. Sit on a bench: Spanish conversation mixes with Arabic, and that blend tells the city better than any monument.
Get lost in the tangle of short streets where every window changes register: a Spanish bookshop, a spice merchant, a tea room fragrant with mint from the doorway. An hour's aimless walk crosses more contrasts than many capitals.
A complex of saltwater pools, gardens and terraces along the seafront, a short distance from the ship. It is the relaxed option for the call.
By vehicle, about ten minutes east. The corniche road opens clear views out to sea and, on a clear day, to the Spanish coast. It is the visual highlight of the day.
Ceuta is Spanish territory and the call proceeds as at any European port. Even so, check the ship's instructions before disembarking: border rules in this area are worth confirming on the day.
The euro, cards accepted in shops. Spanish and Arabic are both spoken, often on the same street; wrought-iron balconies and strong coffee recall Andalusia, visible across the strait on a clear day.
