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.
Puerto del Rosario
The capital of Fuerteventura since 1860, Puerto del Rosario today has a municipal population of around 40,000, making it the island's largest town. Originally called Puerto de Cabras after the goat trade that once passed through its small natural harbour, it was still just a modest fishing hamlet in the mid-19th century. Its central position on the island's east coast nonetheless led to its selection as the island capital, over the older capital of Antigua. In 1957 the authorities decided the name "Cabras" was unflattering and renamed the town Puerto del Rosario. The arrival of a Spanish Legion base in 1976, after the decolonisation of Western Sahara, left a lasting mark on the city's growth. The bell tower of the church of Santo Domingo de Guzmán and a seafront promenade lined with contemporary sculpture are now its main landmarks. More an administrative and port town than a tourist resort, it contrasts with the beach resorts of the island's south. Its harbour remains Fuerteventura's main maritime entry point, with regular links to Gran Canaria and Tenerife.
Puerto del Rosario Ferry Terminal
Puerto del Rosario's maritime station occupies a central spot right along the seafront, a short stroll from the town hall and the harbour promenade. It's within walking distance of the centre, or a quick taxi ride from Fuerteventura's airport about 5 kilometres to the south. As this is a domestic link between Canary Islands, no passport formalities apply — only the standard check-in before boarding. Arriving around 1.5 to 2 hours ahead of the scheduled departure is recommended, particularly for anyone bringing a vehicle.
