Ferries to Spain
New ferry service
We are delighted to announce that Brittany Ferries will be sailing from Portsmouth to Bilbao in 2011.
Commencing on March 27th, the twice weekly service will be in addition to our existing ferry services to Santander from Portsmouth and Plymouth and will be operated by mv Cap Finistère.

Good to see this flagged up Sil.
We are going as foot passengers with Brittany Ferries to Santander. The online booking facility allows 'foot passengers' and 'bicycles' from both Portsmouth and Plymouth.
Sailings from Portsmouth on Tuesdays; return Santander to Portsmouth on Mondays (arr Tues).
Sailings from Plymouth are on Sundays; return to Plymouth on Wednesdays (arr Thurs).

The Portsmouth Bilbao ferry goes from Portsmouth on Sunday and Friday with the return journeys leaving Bilbao on Tuesday and Saturday. There is no online booking facility for either foot passengers or (bi)cyclists on this route, so it would be necessary to contact Brittany Ferries direct.

A great way to get to and from the Camino, especially if you live near one of the ports.
