New service. Las Palmas - Laayoune
It seems that there may be a new Canary Islands - Morocco ferry service.
Whilst holidaying in Tenerife last week I picked a copy of 'Island Connections', one of English language newspapers. It contained articles about the ill-fated Naveria Armas Ferry Line who are renewing their fleet and also an unrelated article about Western Sahara activists which makes mention of the ferry service between Las Palmas on Gran Canaria and Laayoune in Southern Morocco .
The new Las Palmas - Layounne ferry is mentioned on the Naviera Armas website, although as of today there was no timetable shown. According to a thread on Lonely Planet the service may be restarting soon.
As someone who has often thought of living in the Canary Islands, to thought of a direct connection to Africa would be more than a little interesting.
