Flight to Marrakech for eight days in Morocco, with two days of Branch Line Society railtouring including the famous desert railway to Bouarfa; then flying from Tetouan to Alacant for three days in Spain covering some passenger track; then flying home from València.
I had covered about half of the passenger lines in Morocco on a previous trip in 2013 - photos here - and doing the Desert Express fitted in nicely with covering the remaining passenger lines. I also had time to do the tram routes that had been opened since the 2013 visit. The flight from Tetouan to Alicante/Alacant was so cheap I couldn't refuse a few more days in Spain.
