About the Nador – Almería crossing
Across the Alboran Sea, five operators provide crossings from Nador to Almería: Africa Morocco Link, Baleària, Grandi Navi Veloci, Naviera Armas, and Transmediterránea acciona. This high level of competition results in a schedule with departures available every day of the week. Fares for a foot passenger begin from €50, though the price increases with vehicle carriage and varies according to the season.
Timetable and Booking
The daily timetable typically features multiple sailings distributed throughout the day and night. Departure times are scheduled by each of the five companies, so travelers can often find a crossing that aligns with their plans. Booking in advance is necessary, particularly during peak travel periods or when traveling with a vehicle, as capacity on specific sailings is limited.
From the port of Nador, direct ferry connections are also available to Barcelona, Motril, and Sète. The port of Almería serves as a key Spanish maritime hub, with additional international routes to Ghazaouet and Oran in Algeria, as well as a domestic service to the autonomous city of Melilla.

About Almería
Almería is where Spain sails to Africa. Four operators share the crossing to Morocco from one terminal on the Andalusian coast, and in summer the port handles the annual movement of hundreds of thousands of people heading home and back. One detail catches almost everyone out: of the two African destinations served from here, one of them is still Spain.
