Travelling to Spain by Ferry


These days, most Brits considering a trip to Spain make a beeline for the nearest low-cost airline. Even though once you’ve factored in all those additional costs for luggage and so on, low-cost air travel isn’t easy to find.

By contrast, comparatively few give the idea of ferry travel a second thought. Perhaps for a weekend in Calais, but all the way to Spain?

Interestingly, more people than ever before are giving the ferry a shot and vowing to stick with it for life. But is there any way ferry travel to Spain can really prove preferable to air travel?

There is…and for a number of reasons, too.
