Book a ferry at the port of Puerto de la Estaca

1. By car

The port of La Estaca has a simple, rolling access from Valverde, the capital, HI-1 road which goes down to the east coast of the island.

The journey is about eight kilometres and, in the middle of the road, a lookout gives a beautiful panoramic view of the town of La Estaca and its dock.

At the end of the descent, a small roundabout leads directly to the parking and to the main entrance of the harbour enclosure.

If you travel in high season or on specified dates, you should leave with margin, as the activity is concentrated in the arrival and departure hours of the ferries.
