Ferries to Spain

If you are travelling to Spain, Southern France or Portugal, Bilbao is an excellent place to start your journey. It cuts out the long drive through France for a start.

Excellent motorway connections from Bilbao mean that you can be in Madrid in around three hours, and close by are the beautiful villages of the Basque region.

Bilbao offers arguably Europe's best surfing, and the ski resorts of the Pyrenees are well within reach.

Did you know? There is a free of charge baggage trolley service for non-minicruise foot passengers on the Portsmouth-Bilbao route.

Bilbao port address. Puerto de Bilbao (Santurtzi), Muelle Vizcaya. Espigón, 3. 48980 Santurtzi.

The Bilbao ferry terminal is located in a fishing village called Santurtzi, accessible from both the west (Santander) and the east (Madrid and Barcelona) via the A8. Take the N644 turn off and follow this road to the ferry port. There are no car parking facilities in the village, however you can leave their vehicles at the port at no cost.
