Sail the S.C. La Palma - Cadiz route aboard TRASMEDITERRANEA's fleet, connecting the Canary Islands with mainland Spain year-round.
About TRASMEDITERRANEA
Founded in Barcelona in 1917, Trasmediterranea has grown into Spain's leading shipping company, connecting the mainland ports with the Balearic and Canary Islands, the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, and destinations across North Africa. Onboard, travellers can expect a modern fleet and a wide range of services, from à la carte restaurants to swimming pools and boutique shops, making the crossing part of the holiday itself.
Santa Cruz de la Palma
The capital of the island of La Palma, Santa Cruz de la Palma today has just over 15,000 residents, a figure that has stayed remarkably stable since the early 20th century. Founded on 3 May 1493 by the conquistador Alonso Fernández de Lugo as Villa de Apurón, it soon took the name Santa Cruz in reference to the day of its founding. By the 16th century its harbour had become one of the busiest in the Spanish empire, prompting Philip II to establish the first Casa de Contratación branch outside the mainland there in 1558, making the town an essential stop on trade routes to the Americas. It was sacked and burned in 1553 by the French corsair François Le Clerc, then rebuilt and fortified, notably with the Castillo de Santa Catalina that still overlooks the bay. Its historic centre lines the Avenida Marítima with the wooden balconied façades typical of the Canaries, while the church of El Salvador and Plaza de España form its monumental heart. The town is known for its carnival, especially the "Indianos" festival, and for the once-every-five-years Fiesta of the Virgen de las Nieves, recognised as a national tourist attraction. As the island's only commercial and passenger port, it remains La Palma's essential maritime gateway to Tenerife, Gran Canaria and the mainland.
Santa Cruz de la Palma Ferry Terminal
The ferry terminal in Santa Cruz de la Palma sits right next to Plaza de la Constitución, in the middle of the old town, just minutes on foot from the city's main sights and shops. It's an easy walk from the centre, or a short taxi ride from La Palma's airport about 10 kilometres to the south. As a domestic route within the Canary Islands, no passport is needed — simply check in at the company counter before boarding. Arriving roughly 1.5 to 2 hours before the scheduled departure is advised, with a stricter margin recommended when bringing a vehicle or travelling in high season.
Cadiz
Built on a narrow spit of land in the bay of the same name, Cadiz has around 115,000 residents and claims the title of continuously inhabited Western Europe's oldest city. Founded around 1100 BC by the Phoenicians as Gadir, it later passed through Carthaginian, Roman, Visigothic and Muslim hands before being retaken by Christian forces in 1262. Its true golden age arrived after the discovery of the Americas: by the 18th century the city held a monopoly on trade with the New World and had become one of Spain's richest ports. That prosperous era left behind a Baroque cathedral crowned with a golden dome, the Tavira Tower, its old ramparts and the Castle of San Sebastián. Cadiz also holds a place in political history as the birthplace of Spain's first Constitution, proclaimed in 1812 during the Napoleonic siege, and today it is famous for one of Spain's most spirited carnivals. Its economy rests on fishing, shipbuilding and tourism, while its harbour remains a historic anchor point for maritime routes to the Canary Islands.
Cadiz Ferry Terminal
The Trasmediterránea terminal sits right next to Cadiz's railway station, an easy walk from the old town. Travellers based in the historic centre can simply walk over, while those coming from further out will find buses and taxis readily available. Because the Canary Islands sit outside the EU's VAT zone, sailings there involve a document and customs check, so it's worth allowing extra time — arriving roughly 2 to 3 hours ahead is recommended, especially during the busiest summer crossings.
