Ferries to and from Bilbao

Bilbao blends an industrial past with bold modern art, food, and culture. It sits on Mainland Spain’s northern coast, so it’s a great entry point if you’re arriving by sea. While it’s not an Island, many travelers like pairing a Bilbao ferry trip with road journeys to Cantabria, Asturias, or the Basque countryside. Routes from ports like Portsmouth make it popular with people who bring their own car, camper, or bike. Ferry crossings here are usually longer, so Bilbao works well as a base for a slower trip, with plenty to see before you continue deeper into Spain.
