The ferry terminal
The passenger ferry terminal (Estación Marítima de Pasajeros) is an 8,400 m² building on two floors, on the Muelle de la Ribera quay. It has ferry company ticket desks, an information point with screens and a public address system, a café, a cash machine, luggage trolleys, toilets, waiting rooms with wifi and sockets, a duty-free shop and travel agencies.
The customs and police checks for vehicles are next to the building. The port authority does not mention a bureau de change or left-luggage office.
Getting there
By road, the access indicated by the port is the A-7 motorway, exit 438.
According to GNV, there are taxis from the railway station and city bus routes between the centre and the port; the airport is about 10 km away. The port authority does not list a car park of its own or any rates.
How early to arrive
For Nador, Baleària asks for 60 minutes without a vehicle and 2 hours with one. GNV asks for 3 hours on foot and 4 with a vehicle, and closes check-in 60 minutes before departure.
The port publishes a real-time departures board, useful for confirming the quay and any delays.
Routes and ferry companies
There is only one route to Morocco, Almería – Nador. The other international sailings go to Oran and Ghazaouet, in Algeria, and there are ferries to Melilla. Baleària, GNV and AML are present at the port; the mention of Armas Trasmediterránea still found on the port's website predates its absorption into Baleària.
In the first month of the 2026 Operación Paso del Estrecho (OPE), Spain's summer Strait-crossing operation, about 115,000 passengers and 28,479 vehicles passed through Almería.
