Has anyone found walking routes north from Morocco to catch a ferry across to Spain? Thanks.

@dick bird makes a valid point. If you have fluent French, some Arabic and some Amazigh (Berber) it is possible to solo trek but your journey will present some interesting challenges. Maintaining a supply of potable water among them.

There are companies that will sell you "independent" walking tours but you'll often find you are being bus-hopped between the pretty bits. There are two great trade routes: from Marrakesh up to Tangier and from Oujda to Tetouan but these days they carry an almost constant stream of lorries 24 hours a day. Makes for easy hitch-hiking but not pleasant trekking. Local guides can get you off-road and onto the web of pathways. They'll keep you fed and watered too.

I've used these guys https://www.atlastrekshop.com/about-us.html for Atlas treks but not for some years now.

You might want to check out the fantastic blog "Winter Pilgrim," by Ann Sieben, for ideas. (And inspiration!) I believe she walked south from Santiago, but you might be able to reverse that route.
