Nearest ferry would be Portsmouth to either Bilbao or Santander. There is no ferry direct to Ferrol or A Coruna.
Vueling fly direct to A Coruna or Santiago and transport to the start of the Ingles at either Ferrol or A Coruna is easy from both of those airports.
Hi, I'm the writer/creator of the song and video. I thought I would demistify it a bit and say that the graphics were actually relatively easy to create. Using the Bing AI Image Creator I just needed to describe with text and in detail what I wanted a particular image to contain to fit the song...

Hi Graham. I'm acquainted with a couple of people who were involved in the setting up of that route. Leave it with me and I'll find out if they can answer your question and what current conditions are like. I know that last May it was reported that some of the stretch between Winchester and...

As stated above, it is €1 to the Airport.
Taxi is set fare of €23.
