The Boat Almeria-Melilla is a popular crossing to travel from Spain to Morocco. The ferry takes you to the northeast of the North African coast in a part of Spain from where you can continue your journey.
Ferry Almeria – Melilla
The boat from Almeria to Melilla connects Spain with the Moroccan coast. Melilla is a Spanish area bordering Morocco. It is possible to cross the border from here to Morocco, but if you do not want to run the risk that the border is (temporarily) closed, you can choose the route Almeria – Nador. This route arrives at the same port, but Nador is located in Morocco, so you don't have to cross the border.
The Almeria-Melilla ferry is operated by the ferry company Balearia and Naviera Armas. This route takes you about 6 hours.
