Ferry S.C. La Palma - Lanzarote (Arrecife)

Departure Port

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.


Practical Information

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.


Arrival Port

Arrecife

The capital of Lanzarote since 1852, Arrecife is today home to around 52,000 people, making it the island's largest town. First recorded as a modest fishing hamlet in the 15th century, it takes its name from the volcanic reefs that once sheltered local boats from pirates and corsairs. The town endured repeated raids, most notably by the corsair Dogan in 1571, who plundered much of it — prompting fortifications such as the 18th-century Castillo de San Gabriel, now linked to the centre by a small bridge and home to a contemporary art collection. The parish church of San Ginés, the town's patron saint, and the small lagoon of Charco de San Ginés, lined with traditional fishermen's houses, form its picturesque heart. Long overshadowed by the old inland capital of Teguise, Arrecife rose to prominence thanks to its strategic coastal position and natural harbour shielded by the reefs. Today built around tourism, fishing and the island's administration, it retains an appealing, unpretentious character. Its harbour, one of the busiest in the Canaries by passenger numbers, serves as the island's principal maritime gateway.


Practical Information

Arrecife Ferry Terminal

Arrecife's ferry terminal stands on Avenida de los Mármoles, right on the seafront, within easy walking distance of the town centre and the Charco de San Ginés lagoon. Taxis and local buses reach it from anywhere in town, and Lanzarote's airport is barely 5 kilometres away. Since this is a domestic Spanish route linking the Canary Islands, there's no passport check involved — just the usual check-in at the company desk. Turning up about 1.5 to 2 hours before departure is advisable, and that window can stretch further during peak tourist season.
