Majorca is the biggest Spanish island. It is a part of the Balearics archipelago and is opposite Valencia and southeast Spain. Freight ferries to Majorca cross the 200kms of Mediterranean Sea that separates the mainland and the island, and are a great way of transporting large vehicles and cargo.
There are two ports on Majorca, Alcudia and Palma de Mallorca, and these are serviced by ferries from Menorca and Ibiza, two of the other Balearics; and from Barcelona, Valencia and Denia on the mainland. Leading companies operate state-of-the-art vessels on these routes. The busiest route is from Barcelona to Palma de Mallorca.
One of Spain’s most reputable shipping operators, Acciona Trasmediterranea Ferries, offers 10 weekly sailings from Barcelona to Palma which take around seven hours to cross. Bookings for freight ferries to Majorca are available by calling +34 902 454645 or making an internet reservation.
Barcelona is a major Spanish historic, cultural and business hub and is easily reached on regional motorways. The A7 Mediterranean coastal motorway passes the city and links it to Gibraltar and the border with France. Barcelona’s Port Vell is near the city’s industrial estates and features fine restaurants and hectic nightlife.
Passengers aboard freight ferries to Majorca are rewarded with great views of the island’s beaches and the majestic mountainous interior. From the port the MA-13 and MA-15 roads are a quick drive and offer routes to onward Majorcan destinations. Ferries on this route provide good seating, spacious lounges and deck space, stabilisers, restaurants, bars and shops.
