My last trip to Tangiers was in a Commanchee in 1974, so things may have changed. Then it was necessary to 'tip' customs, immigration, police, and anyone else in a uniform between you and airside. It was definitely a place where at least four captains bars helped.
Dont drink the water.
A Cherokee will take a long time, I guess about 18 hours, the Commanchee took 9 hour, and much of it over poor forced landing terrain in Spain.
Expect thunderstorms around Bairitz, and if necessary you can divert out to sea to avoid any combination of CBs and mountains.
Dont smuggle any of the local herbs.
If you can try landing at Gibralta, its an interesting one for the log book,
I am sure there are many other things I could add. It is certainly one of my more memorable flights.
