THE CROSSING
The shortest distance to cross the Straits of Gibraltar is from Punta de Oliveros (Spain) to Punta Cires (Morocco) with a distance of 7.8 miles (14.4 kilometers), due to the characteristics of the crossing, it isn´t the most suitable crossing for the swimmer.
Most of the attempts are made from the Island of Tarifa to the area of Punta Cires, having to swim between 8 to 12 nautical miles (15 to 22 km) due to the influence of strong currents that prevail in the Straits. Only in the case of trying the double crossing (round trip), you can contemplate the beginning of the crossing from the Moroccan coast.
