by the sea yes it's only 14 km, but i'm from the capital Rabat, and i want to go to Madrid, so it's gonna take me 1 day i guess to get there, but with the plane it's only 2 hours (or 1 hour depending on the company), i booked my plane ticket to madrid one month ago and i got it for 45€, i learned my lesson this time
, i'm going there to see Amon Amarth in november in madrid and barcelona
and yes you're right, the visa is very expensive, almost 150€ to get it
