Getting from Andalucia Spain to Marrakesh Morroco

We had a difficult time finding on the internet the best way to get
from Andalucia Spain to Marrakesh Morroco. So, for those out there
that are considering such a trip, you may find this useful. If you are
not planning such a trip, you may find this extremely boring.

Starting at the Malaga Spain airport...

Portillo Bus line from Malaga airport to Marbella Spain bus terminal.
Note: There is a city bus that leaves often but takes twice as long to
get to Marbella. We waited a bit and took the direct bus.
(4.30€) (45 minutes) (11:15am)

Portillo Bus from Marbella Spain to Algeciras Spain. Note: We also
could have chosen to go to the bus station just outside Gibralta
called la Linea. But it's just as easy to catch a ferry from the city
across the harbor, Algeciras.
(6.71€) (1hour) (1:15pm)

Walk east down Calle San Bernardo from the Transporte Generales Comes,
Algeciras bus station towards the Puerto de Algeciras. Note: avoid
the guys telling you that you need buy your Ferry ticket from this
agent or that agent. They are paid by a travel agency. Just go right
to the ferry building to get your ticket. (0€) (10min) (3pm)

Ferry from Algrecias Spain to Tangier Morocco.
(37.00€) (2 hours) (5:30pm)

Taxi from the Tangier ferry building to the train station.
(5.00€. Found out later it should have been about 0.50€) (10
minutes) (7pm -2 hour timezone difference)

O.N.C.F. Train from Tangier to Marrakesh. Note: The train ticket
office did not take euros or credit card so get your dirham before you
get to the station if you can. Although there is an Atm at the
station, it was out of service when we got there.
Note 2: the overnight train was absolutely the way to go. Although the
train was at least 40 years old, it was clean and extremely
comfotable. We were rocked to sleep almost as soon as the train
started moving.
(350 dirham - about 20€) (11 hours) (9:05pm)

Taxi from Marrakesh train station to the Medina. Note: You might be
accosted by taxi drivers as you exit the train station offering to
take you to the Medina. First offer was 50 dh, but shopped around a
bit and got a shared cab for 20dh. (20 dirham) (5 minutes) (6am)
