Two things you need to consider before traveling to Morocco, according to Spanish authorities

Morocco is a destination that drives many travelers crazy due to its unique contrasts: from the impressive Atlas Mountains to the Sahara dunes, passing through medinas like those in Fez or Marrakech. In short, an African jewel that captivates travelers with its beauty and charm.

If you are planning to visit Morocco soon, it would be wise to consider some things recommended by the Spanish authorities. If you follow their advice, you will be able to enjoy a unique country without fear. And if you also have travel insurance... you can't ask for more.

The first piece of advice given by the authorities when visiting Morocco is to pay attention to its beaches and coasts. According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the European Union, and Cooperation, Moroccan beaches are often on open sea, with strong currents, so extreme caution is advised, especially on the Atlantic coast and in the Strait.

Another piece of advice to consider if you decide to visit Morocco with your own car is that entering Moroccan territory with a vehicle is noted in the individual police file of the interested traveler, so it is recommended to always exit with the same vehicle used for entry unless the reason for the vehicle's stay in Morocco can be justified. Additionally, if entry into Morocco is made using a vehicle you do not own, it is necessary to have a valid transfer document approved by the Moroccan Diplomatic or Consular Representation in Spain.

As important as strictly following these two pieces of advice is registering your information in the Travelers Register of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union, and Cooperation to facilitate assistance in emergencies or needs. Also, having insurance is advisable. Intermundial offers some interesting coverage options, and by the way, you can get it with a 10% discount here.

Traveling to both Morocco and Cape Verde (here you have a teaser with 30 stunning images of the country) with insurance is essential for the following reason: medical expenses. Not only will you spend a fortune on serious issues but also on those related to food intolerances and gastrointestinal ailments. Moreover, you know that spices in Morocco are quite intense and not suitable for everyone. Enjoy the food, yes, but don't let it cost you an ulcer! If it comes to that, with Intermundial insurance you'll be covered.

Lastly, and beyond the two things you need to keep in mind before traveling to Morocco, according to the Spanish authorities, and the necessity of taking out a travel insurance, you should be aware of what the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union, and Cooperation states: 'Access to the provinces affected by the earthquake in September 2023, Al Houz and Taroudant, is difficult and the living conditions and services in these mountainous areas still suffer the consequences of the earthquake, so Spanish travelers are advised against traveling there. This situation may affect travelers heading to the region to provide some kind of humanitarian aid. If you plan a trip to the areas near the mentioned provinces, travelers are advised to stay informed about the situation at the destination.'
