Ferry Barcelona – Algiers

Barcelona – Algiers with Baleària

Baleària links Barcelona with Algiers in high season, with a few departures a week. The crossing is shorter than from Marseille, since the ferry cuts straight across the western Mediterranean passing between Ibiza and Mallorca.

Baleària’s ships are modern ferries with cabins, restaurants and lounges. For overnight crossings a cabin is recommended.

This line is ideal for residents of Catalonia and for travellers coming down from France by motorway. Places are scarce around 15 August; if possible, avoid peak weekends.

Barcelona

Barcelona stretches between the sea and Montjuïc hill, at the foot of which the port opens. The works of Antoni Gaudí, including the Sagrada Família, still under construction since 1882, and Park Güell are among the most visited monuments in Spain. The Gothic Quarter, the Ramblas and the Boqueria market make up a lively historic centre, while the 1992 Olympic Games reopened the city to its waterfront. Ferries to North Africa leave from a modern port that is easy to reach from the centre.

Algiers

Algiers is best discovered from the sea: the white city rises in an amphitheatre above the bay, which gave it the nickname “Algiers the White”. Its Arabic name, El Djazaïr, means “the islands”, recalling the islets that faced the first ancient settlement. The Casbah, an old quarter of tightly packed houses and narrow stairways, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992. Higher up, the basilica of Notre-Dame d’Afrique overlooks the gulf, while the neo-Moorish Grande Poste is one of the most photographed buildings in the centre. The Jardin d’Essai du Hamma, created in the 19th century, offers a shady walk at the foot of the city.
