Aside from scheduled and chartered flights, the only other way to travel between Spain and Morocco is by ferry. The ferry crossing from Algeciras to Tangier takes about 90 minutes.
In late 2003, Spain and Morocco agreed to build a 40 km tunnel between Spain and Morocco beneath the Straits of Gibraltar. Work on the tunnel may actually commence next year.
Linking the continents of Europe and Africa will be a major milestone.
Arriving in Tangier, whether by ferry or road/rail would still be a cultural awakening or shock for most people. I did not feel safe in Tangier when visiting during August 2000.

I still haven't finished de-cluttering and tidying.
