How to get to the Port of the Bay of Cádiz

I Love Ferry tips for travelling from Cádiz to Gran Canaria
- Stop or transfer: the Tuesday option keeps the same ship; the Saturday one requires changing in Tenerife. If you have children or luggage, the first is more comfortable.
- Cabin for the night: it is a crossing of a day and a half; a seat gets tiring, especially with children.
- Book in advance if you travel with a car or in high season: there are few sailings a week.
- With a pet, ask for a pet-friendly cabin from the start; places are limited.
- In bad weather, the transfer is the delicate point: write to us with your booking reference if there are changes.
