It's strange that he seems to think next week as the Spanish have just announced a further closing of their borders in Ceuta and Melilla until at least 30 November

Las fronteras de Ceuta y Melilla con Marruecos seguirán cerradas hasta nuevo aviso

Sin fecha prevista para que se reabran los pasos fronterizos en las ciudades autónomas españolas, la restricción para entrar y salir de España se mantiene hasta el 30 de noviembre

The article you linked refers specifically to the land borders. I wonder if this is a compromise aimed at getting some of Morocco's winter tourists back while continuing to make it difficult for the Spanish "occupiers"? Or either one could be wrong.

Transmediterania and FRS are both currently offering tickets for tomorrow (6th) online
Balearic only seem to be booking outbound.

Terry.
Where did you get that from?
FRS says temporarily suspended and won't let you book.
Transmediterrania won't let you either

 

[TerryL]

Was one of the ferry ticket sites, just Googled Algeciras/Tangier med timetable. Tried a test purchase with Mediterranea and it accepted everything - obviously I stopped before purchase................. I'd guess the ferry companies are expecting to be able to restart any time now so websites may only be updated with last minute info, changing all the time.

TBH I'd take the word of Carlos' staff as they're on the spot and probably in the best position to check.

Got this in a WhatsApp message from Carlos place earlier today.....

No clues on FRS website:-

The opening of the borders between Morocco and Spain is awaited with great expectation and, when this happens, FRS will guarantee all hygiene and safety measures on board its ships.

I tried booking the Sete to Tangier on their web site , sailing on the 31st December, it seemed to take all the details, I did stop just before the payment section, I also tried the same on Directferries.com

Don’t know about next Friday but Met Office has +19 for next Thursday. I think there may be an error on the BBC
