How to get to the Port of Almería?

Finding out how to reach the port of Almería is simple: the Ferry Terminal is integrated into the city, beside Nicolás Salmerón Park, with excellent road, rail and bus connections. See its exact location on the map:

1. By car

The port of Almería has very direct road access from the A-7 motorway, the main Mediterranean route, via exit 438 towards the port area.

It also connects with the A-92 from Granada and the coastal N-340, making it convenient whether you are coming from inland or along the coast.

Once inside the complex, signs for "Puerto", "Estación Marítima" and "Ferries" guide you to the boarding point for your route.

Allow plenty of extra time during the busiest periods, especially in summer and during Operation Crossing the Strait, when passenger numbers soar.

If you are boarding with a car, move into the pre-boarding lane for your destination and have your ticket documents ready for inspection.

Before leaving home, visit Kikoto Ferries to confirm your ferry timetable and ticket details, so you arrive at the terminal with plenty of time to spare.

2. By taxi

Taking a taxi to the port of Almería is very practical, especially if you have luggage or would rather avoid looking for parking in the city centre.

The Ferry Terminal taxi rank is on Calle de Coches, right beside the boarding building, and operates during the main ferry departure times.

From central locations such as Paseo de Almería or Puerta de Purchena, the journey to the terminal is short, although the fare varies depending on traffic and the time of day.

Fares are regulated by municipal ordinance, with fixed initial and per-kilometre charges; surcharges may apply at night, on public holidays or for bulky luggage.

You can easily find taxis at the busiest locations in the city, including:

  • The Ferry Terminal taxi rank, on Calle de Coches beside the passenger entrance.
  • Paseo de Almería and Puerta de Purchena, in the heart of the shopping district.
  • Nicolás Salmerón Park, the tree-lined promenade separating the port from the old town.
  • The Intermodal Station, where trains and intercity buses arrive.

When ordering a taxi, simply say you are going to the ferry terminal at the port of Almería; drivers know the area and crossing times well and will drop you at the correct entrance.

3. By public transport

Travelling by public transport to the port of Almería is easy and affordable, as the terminal is right in the city centre and has excellent connections with the rest of the city.

The Surbus city network serves the centre and La Rambla, while the Intermodal Station brings together Renfe trains and intercity buses just a few minutes from the quay.

The most convenient ways to reach the terminal are:

  • Intermodal Station: Renfe trains and intercity bus services arrive here, a short walk from the port through Nicolás Salmerón Park.
  • Surbus city buses: several routes run through the city centre, La Rambla and Paseo de Almería, very close to the ferry terminal.
  • Surbus route 22: connects the Intermodal Station with the airport, which is very useful if you arrive in the city by plane.

As timetables and routes change with the season, check the operator's information before setting off and allow plenty of time before boarding closes.

And if you are already in the city centre, you can reach the port on foot: from Puerta de Purchena or Paseo de Almería, a pleasant stroll through Nicolás Salmerón Park takes you directly to the ferry terminal.
