Ferry going to El Delfin Verde?

Does anyone know what would be the nearest ferry port to El Delfin Verde (Costa Brava?). Our initial plan is to drive from Calais, stopping at least one time overnight, but then I thought maybe I could let a Ferry take the strain, except I'm not overly sure which ferries go in that direction so any help would be gratefully received. We are in Essex but would travel to a port.

We've done both Dover - Calais and long drive and Portsmouth - Bilbao, longer crossing but shorter drive. The latter worked best for us as we live 30mins from Portsmouth and enjoyed the ferry. I think it's more expensive though.

we have never tried the spain ferry but hated doing the Portsmotuh/Plymouth crossings to France, Dh and Dc always ended up travel sick and we travel with the dog so hated leaving him in the car.
we much prefer the Eurotunnel and drive down, with one or two overnight stops and DC travel much better and prefer it in car. The ferry does seem costly for the Portsmouth/Bilbao crossing but i guess you save on tolls and fuel

Bilbao is over 700km from El Defin Verde so still longish drive

Ok thanks, that's all quite helpful. Looks like train and drive is the way to go for us 👍
