Alicante – Oran with Algérie Ferries
Alicante – Oran is one of the fastest crossings to western Algeria. Algérie Ferries runs it in summer at about one crossing a week in each direction. It appeals to travellers from the Costa Blanca, Murcia and Valencia, who thus avoid going up into France to board.
On board you will find lounges, restaurants, duty-free shops and cabins in several categories. Travellers who want a quiet night’s sleep are better off choosing a cabin rather than a seat.
The overnight crossing is the most common: you board in the late afternoon, sleep in a cabin and arrive in Oran in mid-morning. Cabins and vehicle spaces go quickly in mid-July.

Alicante
Alicante, on the Costa Blanca, is dominated by Santa Bárbara Castle, a fortress perched on Mount Benacantil more than a hundred and sixty metres above the sea. Its Explanada de España promenade, paved with millions of small tiles in wavy patterns, runs along the harbour to the café terraces of the centre. Postiguet beach, right below the castle, is one of the busiest in town, and on Saint John’s night in late June the city lights up for the Hogueras, its traditional bonfires. Alicante turrón, an almond nougat, is the speciality to take home.
Oran
From the sea, Oran looks like a city in tiers set against the Murdjadjo, the mountain crowned by the fort and chapel of Santa Cruz. Nicknamed “El Bahia”, the radiant, it is the country’s second city and a crossroads of western Algeria: from here the road leads to Tlemcen, Mostaganem and Sidi Bel Abbès. The city centre, with 1 November Square and the regional theatre, is a short distance from the port, which makes the first hours on the ground easy.
