Port of Tarifa

In recent years, pedestrian and vehicle traffic from the Port of Tarifa to the Port of Tangier Ville has increased significantly. Traffic has reached 1.28 million passengers and over 300,000 vehicles according to the statistics published on the port’s own website. This has made it the third largest port of the Iberian Peninsula in terms of passenger traffic, only behind Algeciras and Barcelona.

About the Tarifa Port

Given the proximity to the city of Tangier and the improvement of its facilities, the Port of Tarifa is the perfect place to get to Morocco in no time. It is smaller than the Port of Algeciras, and therefore, a bit easier both in terms of getting to and getting around.

The passenger terminal has two floors and houses all services provided for passengers such as ticket sales, tourist information kiosks, restaurants, etc., as well as immigration and customs offices.
