El Ferrol is a port city in Galicia, on the north-west coast of Spain. It has a long naval history, with shipyards, defensive forts and harbour areas shaping much of its character. Cruise passengers can explore the old streets, waterfront, local squares and nearby beaches or use the call for excursions to A Coruña, Betanzos or Santiago de Compostela. The city has a more working port feel than some Spanish cruise stops, which provides a useful contrast. El Ferrol suits visitors who want Galician culture, Atlantic scenery and a quieter alternative to larger Spanish ports.
