Travelling by sea is an excellent way to get to Spain if you want to take your car, if you are not in a hurry, or if you simply enjoy the ship-board experience. It is also a good choice if you want to holiday in Northern Spain and avoid the more popular holiday "hot-spots" in the South. Many consider travel by sea a more leisurely and relaxed way to travel.
For the Balearics, ferries leave from Barcelona,Valencia and Denia (Costa Blanca). You need Trasmediterranea (www.trasmediterranea.es) or UMAFISA (www.umafisa.com)
