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.
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria
With over 380,000 residents, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is the most populous city in the Canary Islands and one of Spain's largest. Founded on 24 June 1478 by the conquistador Juan Rejón and his soldiers, who set up a camp called "Real de Las Palmas," it became the launching point for the Spanish conquest of the archipelago, completed in 1483. Christopher Columbus called in 1492 to repair his ships before crossing the Atlantic, a founding episode in the city's maritime identity. Long the archipelago's de facto capital, it now shares that status with Santa Cruz de Tenerife under a unique alternating-capital arrangement. The historic Vegueta quarter, with the Cathedral of Santa Ana and Columbus's house-museum, reflects its rich colonial past, while the urban beach of Las Canteras and the Alfredo Kraus Auditorium capture its modern face. A cosmopolitan city shaped by waves of African and Latin American migration, it is also known for its flamboyant carnival. Its harbour, the Puerto de la Luz, is one of Spain's busiest and a strategic crossroads between Europe, Africa and the Americas, making it the main hub for inter-island and international links across the Canaries.
Las Palmas Ferry Terminal
The Las Palmas ferry terminal is located at Muelle de Santa Catalina, in the district of the same name, roughly 2 kilometres north of the historic Vegueta quarter. City buses connect it to the centre, and it's about a fifteen-minute taxi ride from Gran Canaria's airport; it's also walkable from the beachfront hotels along Las Canteras. Since this is a domestic Spanish route, no passport check is required — only the standard check-in before boarding. Aim to arrive around 1.5 to 2 hours ahead of departure, a margin that should be respected strictly when travelling with a vehicle.
