Ceuta

Choosing to travel to Ceuta by ferry with Baleària means having the opportunity to explore the fascinating history of this enclave and autonomous city. The statue of Hercules, situated just beyond the port, welcomes passengers who arrive in Ceuta by sea.

What to see in Ceuta

As it is surrounded by sea, Ceuta offers Blue Flag beaches such as la Ribera in the centre of the city. Beyond the historical parts of Ceuta, within the walls, other areas which are worth a visit while you’re here include the House of the Dragons and the area of Monte Hacho. To fully explore this zone you can stop off at the numerous observation points, small forts, and watchtowers… so choose to board the ferry to Ceuta in your own car to enjoy all areas of the city at your own pace.

San Amaro Park is another unmissable stop on this journey: this green lung in Ceuta is over 20,000 m2.

What to do in Ceuta

One of the main activities for those who visit Ceuta is a visit to its famous Mediterranean Maritime Park, an oasis in the heart of the city which is full of palm trees, waterfalls, and some impressive salt water lakes. A stop here is a must for all visitors to the city.

Aside from the park, did you know that Ceuta is also home to Europe’s only navigable moat? You can see it for yourself on one of the many boats, or even on a kayaking route along the city’s walls.
