Getting to the Port
Arriving from Santander city centre From the sea front at Pereda Gardens with the Brittany terminal on your left, follow the orange signs for “Ferry”. You will be directed to bear right on “Avenida de Castilla”. When you reach the end of the avenue, turn left following the signs for ferry. Continue 700m and bear right, then at the roundabout take the third exit and go through the Port of Santander Control Point (also signed for “Ferry” in orange). The Brittany Ferries check-in area will be to the left as you enter the restricted area.
RENFE offers a Spain Pass which is valid for one month’s rail travel and gives access to the whole country.
