Port of Motril

Baleària sells two routes to Morocco from Motril, both seasonal: Motril – Nador, with 3 sailings a week, and Motril – Al Hoceima, with 4. In winter there are no published sailings.

The port's website still advertises Tanger Med as a destination, but that route has been suspended since September 2025. There is also a ferry to Melilla.

The port authority publishes these motorway times: Granada 30 minutes, Málaga and Almería 45 minutes, Jaén and Antequera 60 minutes, Córdoba 90 minutes and Madrid 4 hours.

The ferry terminal is on the Paseo del Puerto, in the El Varadero district.

The port offers a long-stay car park for ferry customers. You have to request it with a form on its website, giving your number plate, dates and ferry company; the space is confirmed when you receive the copy by email.

The price is not published, and the maximum stay is 7 or 8 days depending on which page you consult: confirm it when you make the request.

Baleària does not publish a specific time for the Motril routes: the general one applies, 60 minutes without a vehicle and 90 with one.

If you are coming back from Morocco with a pet, Baleària warns that the port of Motril applies strict health measures to animals arriving from that country. The entry point for travellers with animals is only staffed on weekday mornings, Monday to Friday: read the pets guide.
