You can sail from Cadiz or Huelva in Southern Spain to Tenerife, which is the biggest and most popular island among tourists and have some unforgetable weeks. You can also sail directly from Cadiz to La Palma, but if you want to go to La Gomera or El Hierro you can catch a ferry to both places from Tenerife...
