New ferry route: Malaga to Al Hoceima
Al Hoceima finally gets an all-year-round ferry connection to Spain - good news for Moroccan expats and road congestion alike.
From early June, a new ferry service will open between Malaga and Al Hoceima. There will be two crossings per day in either direction during the summer, and one per day off-season.
It’s good news for the thousands of Moroccan expats living in Europe, many of whom are from the region around Al Hoceima. A lot of them prefer to bring their car when they return to visit family during the summer.
Until now, they had to use the Malaga to Melilla service, the ferries between Algeciras and Tangier or the seasonal route from Almeria to Al Hoceima. For a lot of Moroccans living in the Malaga region, that meant some considerable detours.
It also meant a lot of extra traffic on the already overstretched summer roads in Morocco. The fact that the roads in the north of the country aren’t exactly highway-style or well-maintained just added to the mayhem that this annual exodus provokes.
Curiously, the name of the company that will run this service hasn’t been mentioned in the news reports. Our bet is on Trasmediterranea - if had been Moroccan ferry operator Comanav, that fact would have been in the headlines.

It looks like the ferry company that will provide this service is Reduan Ferry: http://www.reduanferry.com/. I’ve never heard of this before, so I guess it’s a new company.

Has anyone managed to find out how to book this ferry from Malaga to Al-Hoceima?? Please????????????????????
July 22nd, 2007 at 10:53 pm
Reduan did not leave the harbour on Saturday and Sunday because the navigation System is default.
They said that it maybe will work on Monday 23.July but who knows???
July 23rd, 2007 at 6:52 pm
Now why in the world would a ship that ’s just started cruising have navigation problems? Because it’s simply not true. Anybody understands that. The true reason of not taking off is because of the royal visit to Alhoceima, just like last summer and all other summers. Some things never change.

Ne sais pas si je suis au forum correcte pour poser cette question car je suis toute nouvelle ici. Ce que je me demande : Est-ce que quelqu’un peut me dire s’il ya un ferry entre Alhoceima et Almeria pendant cet été ? Je sais qu’il existe un site web ou on peut regarder l’horaire dans le sens de Almeria-Alhoceima mais apparamment il n’est pas possible de trouver d’information sur le retour, c’et à dire d’Alhoceima à Malaga (Almeria). Quelqu’un peut m’aider ?

Viajo a principios de Agosto a Al Huceima, me gustaría saber el costo del billete, los horarios y programar reserva para 2 personas.
