Cadaques

Copious coastlines are why Spain is so heavily involved in international trade and reliant on maritime. More than four-fifths of imports and more than two-thirds of exports pass through its harbors. Ports in include Algeciras in the province of Cádiz, Barcelona, Bilbao, Tarragona, and Valencia. Although seafood is available throughout all of Spain, coastal areas offer the opportunity to catch the fish you wish to eat, and then have it prepared the way you prefer.The coast brings many tourists, especially those who plan to visit the islands. Car ferries are available transport tourists from the mainland the Canary Islands the Balearics. Tourists who have chosen not to travel by car, may still travel by such ferries.
