Port of Al Hoceima (Alhucemas)

The port of the central Rif, within the town itself. It has only one route to Spain, from Motril, and only in summer.

Al Hoceima

Where it is

The port of Al Hoceima is on the Mediterranean coast, about 150 km west of Nador, at the western end of the bay. It has a ferry terminal and a passenger terminal with two berths.

You reach it by national road 2, which links Nador with Tetouan, and by the Mediterranean coast road. Baleària lists taxis, buses and toilets at the port.

The Motril route

The only link with Spain is Baleària's Motril – Al Hoceima: a crossing of about 5 hours and 4 sailings a week in season. In November 2026 no sailings had been published until at least the end of March 2027.

The rest of the year

Out of season, the closest option is to arrive via Almería – Nador, which sails every day, and carry on by road.

With Baleària, check-in for the return is the general one: 60 minutes without a vehicle and 90 with one.
