Hey Michael,
Does the hostel have a place to keep your bike while you are there?

Do you mean while you are inside the ticket agency buying the ferry ticket?
Just park the bike on the street in front of the ticket agency. There's no reason to be concerned about security in the area, and you can see the motorcycle from inside the ticket agency. You might have to twist your head a bit to peer through all the stickers on the window, though.

Hey, a friend and me are taking the ferry from Almeria to Melilla in the end of April with two bikes. Is there any need to book in advance from Almeria?

@wandrr: if you want to buy through Carlos you should still check out list prices beforehand.
@hkon89: Mostly they aren't full, but who knows. But the answer is 'yes' if you want a cabin. It's an overnight crossing and you can choose exclusive use of a cabin or for much less money ask for one full of Spanish snorers. If I have camping gear with me the cheap option is to lay out a sleeping mat in a corner of a salon.
Don't leave any soft luggage on the bike, there's a locked cage at the car deck level to secure suitcases and the like during the crossing.

Hi Mike:
I think that the problem you are having is local to your computer. In other words, there is nothing wrong with the Morocco Knowledgebase link that Tim provided, I know this because when I click on it, I go directly to the Morocco Knowledgebase.
It is likely that you have some kind of malicious software present on your machine that is causing the re-direct to the sketchy site. You may want to download and run a trustworthy malware detection application and see if that solves your problem.
I'm not a wizard on this subject, but to the best of my knowledge, this malware-detection application is both trustworthy and effective: Malwarebytes.
Michael

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
