Spain anticipates 3% boost from Marhaba 2026
Today marks the start of the "Hola 2026" operation, which will continue until September 15. It is one of the largest seasonal migration efforts between Europe and North Africa, witnessing the crossing of millions of people and hundreds of thousands of vehicles. Spanish authorities expect a 3 percent increase in the number of travelers this year, with over 3.48 million people crossing last year via more than 10,000 sea voyages. The movement primarily concentrates at Andalusian ports, especially the ports of Gibraltar, Tarifa, Almería, and Málaga, which accounted for over 96 percent of the traffic. The Spanish government has prepared a comprehensive coordination plan to ensure the safety and comfort of travelers, involving the deployment of more than 31,000 personnel from various sectors.
