A Taste of Northern Spain


If you're thinking of heading over to Spain for a wine tour holiday, there's no better way to go than with P&O Ferries. Bilbao is the gateway to Northern Spain and perfectly situated to explore Spain's most famous wine regions.

And from just £249* each way including your car, two people and an inside cabin, you can spend more on what you love most while enjoying all the freedom and boot space of your own car to tour the wineries and vineyards and bring home as much wine as you like.

Not far from Bilbao are the regions of Rioja, with its world famous reds, the picturesque Ribera del Duoro or Rueda with its acclaimed white wines. With your own car, you're free to roam at your own pace to these and other wine producing areas.

P&O Ferries know how to make your trip to Spain special. They are experts in providing a comfortable and highly enjoyable travel experience. So why not spend an evening wining and dining in one of their restaurants such as the exclusive Langan's Brasserie? Afterwards, you could take a stroll on deck, have a drink in one of our bars, or take in some entertainment before returning to your comfortable cabin. The choice is yours.


PS If you want all the fun of onboard cruising but do not want to take your car for a touring visit to Northern Spain, you can always consider Portsmouth-Bilbao mincruises from £15 pp each way.
