Melilla Port Prepares for Mass Return of Moroccan Vacationers from Europe

This space will serve as a waiting area for the thousands of Moroccans from Europe who plan to embark from Melilla to Malaga, Almeria and Motril (Granada) after spending their vacation in Morocco, a spokesman for the Port Authority told Europa Press. The removable tent is installed to provide shade for the vehicles of Moroccans living abroad waiting to board. Toilets and a prayer area have also been set up," said a spokesman for the Government Delegation.

The construction of this tent, which covers an area of 2,000 square meters and will accommodate Moroccans living abroad and their vehicles, will cost the Port Authority 28,056 euros. It will serve both for the circulation and parking of vehicles inside the port.
