In addition to the world famous cities that draw the tourists in year after year, some 7000 kilometres of coastline and in particular the Costal del Sol attract sun worshippers in huge numbers.The country is well known for its gastronomy too and with dishes such as paella, gazpacho, the Spanish omelette, cocido and tapas, Spain undoubtedly has all the ingredients to make your visit an unforgettable experience.

Getting to Spain by ferry is relatively simple with numerous choices worth considering, both direct and indirect.

The direct routes on offer from the UK cover a selection of departure ports in Southern England sailing to a choice of ports on Spain’s north coast. The crossings are quite long and aren’t especially low priced but are operated by the finest fleet of ferries you are likely to come across so the journey is worth the expenditure. You could also choose to travel to Spain from England via France on a shorter and cheaper crossing and then drive the rest of the way.

Spain features numerous connections with the Balearics and Canaries, which are great if you’re using the mainland as a gateway to one of the fabulous islands such as Mallorca, Ibiza, Tenerife and Gran Canaria. Ferries also sail across the Mediterranean Sea from a range of European and North African countries like Italy, Algeria and Morocco.
