About the Santa Cruz de La Palma – Cádiz crossing
Cádiz, on the Spanish mainland, is reachable from Santa Cruz de La Palma via a direct ferry crossing. Naviera Armas and Transmediterránea acciona operate this route. Ferries sail every day, with fares starting from €29.
Operators and Schedule
Both Naviera Armas and Transmediterránea acciona serve this Canary Islands to mainland Spain connection. The crossing is one of several long-distance domestic routes available from the port at Santa Cruz de La Palma. Other ferries depart from here to destinations including Arrecife, Las Palmas, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
The alternative to this direct sailing would involve taking a shorter inter-island ferry to a larger hub port like Santa Cruz de Tenerife or Las Palmas. From those ports, separate long-haul sailings to Cádiz are also available. This direct option from La Palma avoids the need for an intermediate transfer within the Canary Islands archipelago.
