Top airline flying from Boston to Melilla

An average flight experience. For our transatlantic portion, they provided a main meal and two snacks. However, the food was not very tasty and the drinks far too small and infrequent for such a long flight. The regrettable part of the flight was that the toilets were extremely filthy. I feel this is unacceptable.

Both flights were delayed. I lost my connection on the way back. No voucher or anything was givenx I had business ticket and no support to make it on time. I got to the door running 5 min after they close. Food really bad. Breakfast in business was worst that I what I remember in economy. Even though I have accumulated many miles, I don’t think Inwill keep buying Iberia. I am a frequent business traveler.

The food is really eco only level. Breakfast was shameful. I am considering to stop flying with Iberia. Business prices are as expensive as other companies with much better service.

Why no entertainment? Also water should be free, it is basic human right.

Late boarding. Delayed departure leading to rushed connection at Madrid Barajas. Not necessarily Iberia's fault but delay loading cargo didn't help.

I can’t comment on food as it was necessary to buy it. No entertainment.

Took too long to tak off but besides that it was good

They made my flight a disaster they had me pay for bags that I already paid for through Iberia airlines and the hostesses were super mean and racist they just turned my vacation to a total nightmare and disappointment in fact they even had me rethink even no to go to morroco ever again even if my whole stay at the country was so nice and fun and perfect but anything at the airport and with the airline was a disaster do not recommend will never take a flight with them

All went smoothly, no problems; friendly crew. I would have appreciated a head pillow ;)

Staff not so nice, very dirty bathrooms, things in the hallways, food was not very nice.

Melilla ( Arabic : مليلية (Maliliyyah), Berber: ⵎⵔⵉⵜⵙ (Mřič)) is a Spanish exclave in North Africa , on the Moroccan side of the Mediterranean. In some ways it's similar to Ceuta but in other ways it's unique.

Understand [ edit ]

• Tourist information office , calle Fortuny 21 , ☏ +34 952-67-54-44 . Near the Plaza de Toros, but far from everything else. A better choice is to go to the Tourist Information kiosk outside the Casino Militar on the main plaza, Plaza Espana.  

Talk [ edit ]

You are in Spain. People speak Spanish . But you are also in North Africa, and many people speak Tarifit (Spanish: rifeño , a variety of Berber). Arabic is also widely spoken amongst the Moroccans in Melilla.

Get in [ edit ]

By car (or on foot) [ edit ].

From Morocco. Melilla is completely surrounded by Moroccan territory (and the sea), and this is obviously a very sensitive border. Many try to cross illegally into Spain, with dire consequences. Crossing legally (in either direction) is also an eye-opening experience, but presents no particular difficulties if you are not transporting counterfeit goods or hashish.

Don't forget that Spain and Morocco are in different time zones. You will lose one hour during summer when Spain observers daylight saving time.

By plane [ edit ]

By boat [ edit ].

There are ferry services run by Acciona Trasmediterránea and Balearia [formerly dead link] .

• from Malaga : 8 hours.
• from Almeria : 6.5 hours.
• from Motril : This is a new service from Motril near Granada.

By train [ edit ]

Moroccan train operator ONCF has three trains daily between Taourirt and the Beni-Nsar Port train station ( about five minutes' walk from the border ). Connections are available at Taourirt with trains to Fès , Rabat , Casablanca and Oujda .  

Get around [ edit ]

See [ edit ]

• 35.294676 -2.940909 1 Or Zoruah Synagogue , Calle López Moreno Melilla, 8 . Arabesque architecture, designed by Enrique Nieto in 1924. Downstairs a tacky bargain store, but the façade is well-preserved. Visits can be arranged through the Tourist Information Kiosk on the Plaza Espana. ( updated Sep 2017 )

Stay safe [ edit ]

Melilla is a safe city to visit, though not unconditionally so. There are always lots of people enjoying the beach, etc. until late; though it is not advisable to travel alone at night, even in the city centre. Street robbery is not an uncommon occurrence for people walking alone at night in Melilla.

Pickpocketing is relatively common here, especially in public toilets where a common tactic is for a group of large men to crowd round the victim and basically empty every available pocket. It is a better idea to leave valuables with other friends before going to the toilet, or failing that, to surreptitiously tuck your phone/wallet into your socks.

Go next [ edit ]

Walking into morocco [ edit ].

Catch a bus from the Plaza de España to the Moroccan border, 2 km to the south. Cross the border into the Moroccan customs and security area and queue up at the police kiosk to get your passport stamped: this can take a while. Be sure to go up to the window and ask for an entry form to fill out (in French, Spanish or English) while you wait. Be careful as scammers trying to sell you these forms or trying to "help" you complete them will run off with your passport.

When you get out you will be in the village of Beni Enzar which has the port of Nador with sailings to Almeria or France, where you can find banks (just next to the port) or a collective taxi to the city of Nador. Remember to turn your watch back one hour during summer when Spain observes DST.

It was lovely to connect with beautiful nature and see a more traditional side of Andalusia. It was a small group and a nice, relaxed atmosphere.

• skivaz74 0 contributions 4.0 of 5 bubbles Well organized Alhambra tour. We had a pleasant trip , very thoroughly and professionally organized, went all smooth even with a rescheduling. The two minor points to consider are the Alhambra tickets are of different kind, with or without Nasrid Palace, with Guide, with Audio guide, which made the understanding difficult of what we got at the end (we chose the full access with Audio guide and was ok for us) The driver doesn't speak English and does not interact with passengers during the 1hr 30min drive from Málaga and back. Would have been nice to have someone that had the knowledge in order to answer some questions along the way. Over all as long as you clarify what are you getting with the ticket to avoid disappointment the experience is enjoyable. The time given at the Alhambra is 4hrs which is just right. There is a brief stop in Granada of about 45min. Strongly suggest to buy your lunch there to eat later on Alhambra gardens as there are very limited options onsite.

Only downside was the amount of time at the Alhambra. There was no spare time there. This because of an adjacent apointment for the driver. Also the guide at the Alhambra needed to rush due to this.

Melilla is one of Spain's exclave cities and one of the most interesting excursions to consider while visiting Morocco.

Melilla is one of the twin Spanish cities on the coast of North Africa bordering Morocco (the other city being Ceuta). Along with the picturesque Canary Islands off the coast of Africa , Melilla and Ceuta are autonomous regions of Spain. Melilla is part of the European Union but has some special rules for entry.

Like Ceuta, Melilla has a long militaristic history and has an impressive medieval fort (and like Ceuta, it is claimed by Morocco). The population of the city is mostly of Spanish and Moroccan extraction, with Hindu and Jewish minorities. The vibe and culture of the city are something of a fusion of influences.

There are some parallels to the strategically fortified Spanish cities of Melilla and Ceuta jutting out into the Strait of Gibraltar with the strategic British city of Gibraltar jutting out from Spain at the other side of the strait. One of the parallels with Gibraltar is the resident colony of monkeys (Gibraltar is home to the only wild colony of monkeys in Europe). Melilla has its own colony of mischievous monkeys.

• Population: 86,500

Unlike Ceuta, Melilla is connected to Europe not only by ferries but also by its airport (with daily flights to the Spanish cities of Almeria and Malaga).

If one is touring the exotic wonders of Morocco, take the time to pop over to Melilla for the day and enjoy the contrasts of a piece of Spain on the coast of North Africa. Not only can people just pop into Melilla while visiting Morocco, but travelers can also come by ferry from the famous southern beach city of Malaga. It is around seven hours away by ferry.

One of the main attractions of Malaga is the Malaga Cathedral - one of the most important monuments of the city. Its south tower and main facade remain unfinished and are found in the center of the town (in Barcelona, the famous Sagrada Familia remains under construction despite being in building for over 100 years).

Perhaps the most adventurous way to visit Morocco and Melilla is by coming from Spain by ferry (Morocco is only 1.5 hours from Spain by ferry).

Melilla is famous for its Modernist architecture. Notably, it has the second most (around 900) Art Deco and Modernist buildings in Spain (after Barcelona). Some of the most famous buildings are located in the Golden Triangle of the city. Arguably the stunning beauty of Melilla makes it one of the most beautiful cities to visit in Spain .

Take the time to visit the Conventico Caves that have been excavated in the rock. During times of war, religious services were held there. Soldiers would also sleep there between attacks. Today they are open to the public.

Another attraction is the Hospital del Rey, located in the Melilla Vieja fortress. It was built in the 18th century inside the enclosures of the walls. Today it has a temporary exhibition hall and is the headquarters of the Central Archive and Publications Service.

Activities to enjoy include scuba diving, water sports, and hiking.

Melilla has a long history as a trading and military outpost - it dates from the Phoenician times. During Roman times it was a fortified town and port ( Morocco has a long and impressive Roman history , and there are plenty of Roman ruins to discover). For centuries the Romans controlled the north coast of Africa, and today there are many Roman ruins all along the coastline. The Spanish occupied Melilla in 1497, and the Moroccans tried to take the city in the centuries that followed, but it remained under Spanish control.

The population was only small for a long time (in 1860, there were only 375 inhabitants there).

With the ever-present risk of war and siege, a lot of effort was put into the construction of fortifications for the city. One of the main attractions of touring Melilla is the Citadel (also called Melilla la Vieja - or Old Melilla in English). The walls of the city were first built on the rock in the 15th century. The citadel is a monumental complex with four enclosures separated by a moat. Four of the enclosures are built on a rock crag jutting out into the Mediterranean, and the fourth one is located on the mainland.

Today the Ciudadela citadel is an excellent example of the evolution of the military architecture of Spain dating from between the 15th and 18th centuries.

One of the more impressive sections of the citadel is called La Ciudadela. It is now the site of the Military Museum at Melilla.

The Moscow Metro Museum of Art: 10 Must-See Stations

There are few times one can claim having been on the subway all afternoon and loving it, but the Moscow Metro provides just that opportunity.  While many cities boast famous public transport systems—New York’s subway, London’s underground, San Salvador’s chicken buses—few warrant hours of exploration.  Moscow is different: Take one ride on the Metro, and you’ll find out that this network of railways can be so much more than point A to B drudgery.

The Metro began operating in 1935 with just thirteen stations, covering less than seven miles, but it has since grown into the world’s third busiest transit system ( Tokyo is first ), spanning about 200 miles and offering over 180 stops along the way.  The construction of the Metro began under Joseph Stalin’s command, and being one of the USSR’s most ambitious building projects, the iron-fisted leader instructed designers to create a place full of svet (radiance) and svetloe budushchee (a radiant future), a palace for the people and a tribute to the Mother nation.

Consequently, the Metro is among the most memorable attractions in Moscow.  The stations provide a unique collection of public art, comparable to anything the city’s galleries have to offer and providing a sense of the Soviet era, which is absent from the State National History Museum.  Even better, touring the Metro delivers palpable, experiential moments, which many of us don’t get standing in front of painting or a case of coins.

Though tours are available , discovering the Moscow Metro on your own provides a much more comprehensive, truer experience, something much less sterile than following a guide.  What better place is there to see the “real” Moscow than on mass transit: A few hours will expose you to characters and caricatures you’ll be hard-pressed to find dining near the Bolshoi Theater.  You become part of the attraction, hear it in the screech of the train, feel it as hurried commuters brush by: The Metro sucks you beneath the city and churns you into the mix.

With the recommendations of our born-and-bred Muscovite students, my wife Emma and I have just taken a self-guided tour of what some locals consider the top ten stations of the Moscow Metro. What most satisfied me about our Metro tour was the sense of adventure .  I loved following our route on the maps of the wagon walls as we circled the city, plotting out the course to the subsequent stops; having the weird sensation of being underground for nearly four hours; and discovering the next cavern of treasures, playing Indiana Jones for the afternoon, piecing together fragments of Russia’s mysterious history.  It’s the ultimate interactive museum.

Top Ten Stations (In order of appearance)

Kievskaya station.

Kievskaya Station went public in March of 1937, the rails between it and Park Kultury Station being the first to cross the Moscow River.  Kievskaya is full of mosaics depicting aristocratic scenes of Russian life, with great cameo appearances by Lenin, Trotsky, and Stalin.  Each work has a Cyrillic title/explanation etched in the marble beneath it; however, if your Russian is rusty, you can just appreciate seeing familiar revolutionary dates like 1905 ( the Russian Revolution ) and 1917 ( the October Revolution ).

Mayakovskaya Station

Mayakovskaya Station ranks in my top three most notable Metro stations. Mayakovskaya just feels right, done Art Deco but no sense of gaudiness or pretention.  The arches are adorned with rounded chrome piping and create feeling of being in a jukebox, but the roof’s expansive mosaics of the sky are the real showstopper.  Subjects cleverly range from looking up at a high jumper, workers atop a building, spires of Orthodox cathedrals, to nimble aircraft humming by, a fleet of prop planes spelling out CCCP in the bluest of skies.

Novoslobodskaya Station

Novoslobodskaya is the Metro’s unique stained glass station.  Each column has its own distinctive panels of colorful glass, most of them with a floral theme, some of them capturing the odd sailor, musician, artist, gardener, or stenographer in action.  The glass is framed in Art Deco metalwork, and there is the lovely aspect of discovering panels in the less frequented haunches of the hall (on the trackside, between the incoming staircases).  Novosblod is, I’ve been told, the favorite amongst out-of-town visitors.

Komsomolskaya Station

Komsomolskaya Station is one of palatial grandeur.  It seems both magnificent and obligatory, like the presidential palace of a colonial city.  The yellow ceiling has leafy, white concrete garland and a series of golden military mosaics accenting the tile mosaics of glorified Russian life.  Switching lines here, the hallway has an Alice-in-Wonderland feel, impossibly long with decorative tile walls, culminating in a very old station left in a remarkable state of disrepair, offering a really tangible glimpse behind the palace walls.

Dostoevskaya Station

Dostoevskaya is a tribute to the late, great hero of Russian literature .  The station at first glance seems bare and unimpressive, a stark marble platform without a whiff of reassembled chips of tile.  However, two columns have eerie stone inlay collages of scenes from Dostoevsky’s work, including The Idiot , The Brothers Karamazov , and Crime and Punishment.   Then, standing at the center of the platform, the marble creates a kaleidoscope of reflections.  At the entrance, there is a large, inlay portrait of the author.

Chkalovskaya Station

Chkalovskaya does space Art Deco style (yet again).  Chrome borders all.  Passageways with curvy overhangs create the illusion of walking through the belly of a chic, new-age spacecraft.  There are two (kos)mosaics, one at each end, with planetary subjects.  Transferring here brings you above ground, where some rather elaborate metalwork is on display.  By name similarity only, I’d expected Komsolskaya Station to deliver some kosmonaut décor; instead, it was Chkalovskaya that took us up to the space station.

Elektrozavodskaya Station

Elektrozavodskaya is full of marble reliefs of workers, men and women, laboring through the different stages of industry.  The superhuman figures are round with muscles, Hollywood fit, and seemingly undeterred by each Herculean task they respectively perform.  The station is chocked with brass, from hammer and sickle light fixtures to beautiful, angular framework up the innards of the columns.  The station’s art pieces are less clever or extravagant than others, but identifying the different stages of industry is entertaining.

Baumanskaya Statio

Baumanskaya Station is the only stop that wasn’t suggested by the students.  Pulling in, the network of statues was just too enticing: Out of half-circle depressions in the platform’s columns, the USSR’s proud and powerful labor force again flaunts its success.  Pilots, blacksmiths, politicians, and artists have all congregated, posing amongst more Art Deco framing.  At the far end, a massive Soviet flag dons the face of Lenin and banners for ’05, ’17, and ‘45.  Standing in front of the flag, you can play with the echoing roof.

Ploshchad Revolutsii Station

Novokuznetskaya Station

Novokuznetskaya Station finishes off this tour, more or less, where it started: beautiful mosaics.  This station recalls the skyward-facing pieces from Mayakovskaya (Station #2), only with a little larger pictures in a more cramped, very trafficked area.  Due to a line of street lamps in the center of the platform, it has the atmosphere of a bustling market.  The more inventive sky scenes include a man on a ladder, women picking fruit, and a tank-dozer being craned in.  The station’s also has a handsome black-and-white stone mural.

Here is a map and a brief description of our route:

Start at (1)Kievskaya on the “ring line” (look for the squares at the bottom of the platform signs to help you navigate—the ring line is #5, brown line) and go north to Belorusskaya, make a quick switch to the Dark Green/#2 line, and go south one stop to (2)Mayakovskaya.  Backtrack to the ring line—Brown/#5—and continue north, getting off at (3)Novosblodskaya and (4)Komsolskaya.  At Komsolskaya Station, transfer to the Red/#1 line, go south for two stops to Chistye Prudy, and get on the Light Green/#10 line going north.  Take a look at (5)Dostoevskaya Station on the northern segment of Light Green/#10 line then change directions and head south to (6)Chkalovskaya, which offers a transfer to the Dark Blue/#3 line, going west, away from the city center.  Have a look (7)Elektroskaya Station before backtracking into the center of Moscow, stopping off at (8)Baumskaya, getting off the Dark Blue/#3 line at (9)Ploschad Revolyutsii.  Change to the Dark Green/#2 line and go south one stop to see (10)Novokuznetskaya Station.
