I am no expert by any means regarding this but I have taken a few ferries over the years especially between Ireland and Wales and England and the European mainland and there has always been a combination of both foot and vehicle riders.That's great news, however it does not mention foot traffic, only with in car.

That’s why I am no expert hahahaI don't know for definite but I had this problem in the middle of last year when I tried to advance book for Plymouth to Santander this Summer, they were not taking foot passengers, they changed that back but I was sufficiently wary to have a wait and see attitude before making a booking.
Living close to Roscoff I have very often taken the ferry to Santander via PlymouthMentioned on BBC News this morning.
Because of Portugal's place on the UK green travel list there are rumours that Brittany Ferries may introduce a service between Plymouth and Porto (Leixões) from as early as May 21st. Travel time will be somewhere between 24 and 30 hours.

I gave you a "like" because I sympathise. April 2019, out of Coruña on the way to Le Havre, on a larger 2,100-person + 900-crew, 960-foot ship, when the wind started to "pick up", you could feel the rolling against the waves, restaurants remained largely empty and, as by magic, small plastic bags had been put in holders throughout the public spaces to be used in case of necessity. It wasn't too bad for me, and I was actually a bit thrilled that the Bay of Biscay delivered what I knew about this sea.In 2013, we did an overnight ship crossing from Lisbon to Le Havre across the outer reaches of the Bay of Biscay/"edge" of the Atlantic. That was the worst night I have ever experienced. We were aboard a small 500-person + 350-crew, 600-700-foot ship that got tossed like a feather in a storm. The seas were such that the bow would break the surface and then crash down. I would rather fly direct or ferry directly across the Channel and train to Lisbon.

I guess ferries take the most direct route, so this potential Plymouth-Porto ferry will sail through those areas and will not sail as close to land as current ferries to Bilbao and Santander do.
Oh well, getting seasick on the way to Hispania will be a much more "authentic" and traditional pilgrimage experience.
i was a stewardess on board Brittany ferry the old ‘ Armorique ‘ in the 70’s sailing Roscoff-Cork-plymouth -Santander ! It was epic! Especially in the biscay bay of course !!I gave you a "like" because I sympathise.

I know what the intent is but that would actually be against the rules and current UK law.I think that the idea is to travel to Piortugal (permitted by UK after May 17th) - walk or bus into Spain - return to Portugal and back to UK. The problem is that at present Portugal wont let UK citizens in!
To be more accurate, once Spain allows us to visit until the UK government change the rules we would have to isolate on our return. That is what people travelling to Portugal want to evade once Portugal allows us to visitI know what the intent is but that would actually be against the rules and current UK law.
Yes and they won’t let french citizens either or from any other EU country if the rate of less than 150 Covid cases / 100000 is not maintained , it is wiseI think that the idea is to travel to Piortugal (permitted by UK after May 17th) - walk or bus into Spain - return to Portugal and back to UK.
