Carlos the ticket man

[Roger Bruton]

In his office, a couple of weeks ago, it was pandemonium. After an AWFUL lot of sodding about, we eventually left empty-handed and went down to the (Algeciras) harbour office where all the other agents have their little kiosks. To cut a long story short, we bought tickets from one guy - a VERY nice and helpful Moroccan agent, for the same price that Carlos was quoting. A Ford Mondeo and a Discovery were 70 euros each, one way, on Acciona ("normal" ferry). Seems like it's a waste of time going to see Carlos these days????

true. I've had my 14-ton truck across for less than 100 euros twice now, both without carlos. Just any random stall by the side of the road...

We had problems with our tickets from Carlos back in October, on the return trip it became apparent that one of our tickets was for Algerciras/Ceuta whereas the other was for Algeciras/tanger med. We had to pay another 20 euros to get the right ticket

Not had any problems there buying tickets for our groups. The cake is nice and the cider is OK chilled on a hot day in the desert. Don't really need the glass mug, though...

Although I recommended Carlos in Feb 2008 it was on the basis that he was clued into the special deals that others wouldn't let you know about. I agree it's now too much hassle with no savings, so I buy at the port after first checking prices online.

Hi,

€120 from Carlos, 1 week ago, for 2 pers and a 4x4 and he helped at the port to ensure we got on the 14:00 ferry.

Cheers Mark
