Ferry from Fuerteventura to La Palma

About Fuerteventura

Fuerteventura is the second largest of the Spanish Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean, situated off the northwest coast of Africa. Declared a biosphere reserve by UNESCO in 2009, Fuerteventura is blessed with the archipelago’s most stunning beaches, a ruggedly beautiful landscape and over 3,000 hours of sunshine each year. It has also long been admired as a top destination for visitors interested in cultural heritage thanks to its large number of centuries-old mansions and beautiful churches. Fuerteventura has a large number of ports along its coast, making it an excellent departure point for the rest of the Canary Islands. Also, with the routes operated by a range of excellent ferry companies, there’s no shortage of sailing options.

About La Palma

La Palma is the greenest and most north-westerly of the Spanish Canary Islands, found directly north of El Hierro. Worthy of its nickname, the ‘Pretty Island’ has been classified a World Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, boasting the most immaculate landscapes of the archipelago. La Palma attracts mostly walkers and outdoor enthusiasts, with tourist-filled beaches practically non-existent. Instead it offers imposing volcanic craters, serene forests and a vast National Park filled with fascinating wildlife. When the sun sets, La Palma retains its beauty; the island’s strict light pollution laws have earned it Starlight Reserve status, resulting in truly mesmerising night sky views. From almost every island in the Canaries, you can sail to La Palma’s port in Santa Cruz, with a number of ferry operators offering regular sailings. There are also weekly, long-haul ferry crossings from Cadiz, on the Spanish mainland.
