Ferry from Spain to Algeria

About Spain

Spain is a country located on the Iberian Peninsula and bordered by Portugal to the west, France to the north-east and the Mediterranean Sea to the South and East. The marvellous weather in Spain, its geographic location, beautiful coastlines and varied landscapes have made Spain one of the most popular destinations in the world. Its capital city Madrid features winding streets all heading to gather in the center of the city, Barcelona needs no introduction, the Basque country is to the North and then of course there’s the sunbathers mecca – the Costa del Sol. As a country with thousands of miles of coast and numerous island groups such as the Canaries and Balearic's, travelling by ferry is deeply rooted into Spanish culture. Europe’s most modern ferries and well-known ferry companies are in operation providing services from Spain to the UK, Italy and North Africa as well as crossing from the mainland to the Canary Islands, the Balearic Islands and numerous inter island connections.

About Algeria

With its geographical position at the top of North Africa, Algeria is ideally located for ferry services from mainland Spain. In addition to this, with the cultural influences from its French past there are a number of routes from France. Wherever you sail from, all services across the Mediterranean Sea are relatively long and it is advisable to book a comfortable cabin accommodation for the best possible sailing experience. Almeria is the Spanish port that offers services to Oran and Ghazaouet in Algeria, and both of these destinations will allow you to easily immerse yourself into Algerian culture. Ghazaouet is a gateway to the Tlemcen National Park - an area of Algeria that includes waterfalls, historic architecture and forests. Oran is the second largest city in the country, and stunning examples of classical Arabic architecture can be found all over the city - even the train station is designed in a style that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Marseille, on the south coast of France, has a wide variety of destinations for passengers wishing to sail to Algeria. Ferries run on a regular basis to Algiers, Bejaia, Oran, Annaba and Skikda, and each of these ports offers a unique insight into the Algerian cultural experience. Algiers is the Capital City of the country, and the Monument of the Martyrs is a construction that simply must be visited. It was built to commemorate those who died during the lengthy struggle for Algerian Independence, and looking at the surrounding statues offers a fascinating history lesson about the different stages that led to the current state of Algeria. Annaba is an Algerian destination that has something to offer every type of tourist. The region is made up of visitor hotspots that are centred around beautiful beaches and picturesque mountains, and once the sun goes down it becomes one of the most vibrant areas for night-life in the country. Green Main Street takes this one step further by offering a vibrant and exciting district to visit where the fun begins in the afternoon. Its position towards the end of Algeria's coastline makes it the ideal place to begin an Algerian motoring adventure. Wherever you decide to arrive in Algeria by ferry, it is a great way of bridging the motoring gap between Europe and North Africa. The country's rich history of maritime activity means that a diverse variety of tourist attractions and major urban centres can be found on the coast, and a trip inland will offer you the chance to experience a more authentic experience away from the tourist traps. Alternatively, continuing along the coast to Morocco or Tunisia are also possibilities, and Annaba in particular is very close to the Tunisian border.
