Or...
-Ferry from Algeciras to either Tangier or Ceuta.
-Quickest way through Morocco is coastal route but there is so much to explore there.
-You can get visa for Mauritania at consulate in Rabat.
-Just before the Morocco Mauritanian border there is a service station and you can kip there (it saves riding down to Nouadibhou and back). Try to avoid crossing the border during 1200 - 1500 (lunch hour and it is closed).
-Good tarmac road down to Nouakchott but no fuel so take it with you - 500 ks.
-Road to Rosso ok but rough in patches.
-I'd avoid Rosso - the pits and non stop hustle. On the outskirts of Rosso opposite an insurance office there is a piste heading west which will take you to Djama - a much better crossing.
-No problems at the Senegal/Gambia border.
Have fun.
