Melilla to Almería Ferry

The Spanish ports of Melilla and Almería are separated by the Alboran Sea. The crossing is served by two operators, Baleària and Transmediterránea acciona, who together provide two sailings every day. The first departure is scheduled for 15:30, with the final sailing at 16:45. Both companies operate the route with a consistent crossing duration of 6 hours. Fares start from €49, though this price changes based on the season and any vehicle being transported.

Transport Connections in Southern Spain

This domestic sea route forms part of the transport network connecting the autonomous city of Melilla, on the North African coast, with mainland Andalusia. Melilla's other ferry connections are to Motril and Málaga, while Almería's port also handles international services to Ghazaouet and Oran in Algeria, and Nador in Morocco. The fixed 6-hour duration makes it a predictable link for passengers and freight moving between the two Spanish territories.

The daily schedule offers afternoon departures from Melilla, arriving in Almería in the late evening. The two sailings are timed closely together, with the 15:30 and 16:45 departures providing a concentrated travel window. This timing facilitates onward travel within Andalusia upon arrival or connections in Melilla for those arriving from the mainland.
