Busy time for the ferries

As one lot of people flock to the province by plane and by car others escape by boat.

Traditionally, the first weekend in August is when north Africans - magrebíes - return to their home countries in what is called Operación Paso del Estrecho. Over the last couple of days these people  have been filling  the Acciona-Transmediterránea ferries bound for Algeria. The wealthier ones have been refuelling their powerboats ready for the crossing.
