Spain and Portugal for Visitors

Trasmediterranea is the most important Spanish ferry company, operating routes between the Spanish mainland, the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, North Africa (both Morocco and Algeria) and Italy.

The Plymouth-Santander ferry is a possibility if you want to take your car from Great Britain to Spain.

Naviera Armas is a ferry operator based in the Canary Islands. It runs ferries between the islands, but is included here because it also connects the Portuguese island of Madeira and Portimão in the Algarve with each other and with the Canary Islands.

P&O operates the Portsmouth-Bilbao ferry, an alternative to the more traditional Plymouth-Santander route.

SpeedFerries offers amendable bookings from £25 one-way, for a standard car including up to 6 passengers, on the all year Dover-Boulogne fast ferry service.
