Crossing border from Spain to Morocco - possible problems?

Crossing border from Spain to Morocco - possible problems? - Low angle of old catholic basilica with stained glass windows named Sagrada Familia located in Barcelona in Spain

We want to visit Spain in September 2015. Since we will visit Gibraltar too, we are thinking about going to Ceuta. Since Ceuta is very close to Morocco it would be worth to visit it for example for one or two days. We have two options:

  1. Go to Ceuta by a ferry and then cross to Morocco by walking.
  2. Go straight to Morocco by ferry. For example from Tariffa to Tanger Ville.

Are there some possible problems at borders to Morocco?

I think of bureaucracy (hours/days on border) or immigrants (no offence, just carefulness) and stuff.

And is it better to go straight to Tanger Ville by ferry?
