"We are going to the Mediterranean."

Translation: אנחנו הולכים לים התיכון.

[ravjeremy]

I used נוסעים rather than הולכים. Would a native speaker going to the sea from, say, Jerusalem, use הולכים? I'm not quite sure of the walking/traveling/going lines between these two words.

[AlmogL]

I would usually say נוסעים. But maybe some people would sometimes say הולכים in a very general sense of we are heading for the sea.

[absjbk29]

can אל be used instead of ל?

[elisagilmo2]

Is this the Mediterranean sea or the Mediterranean in general?
The answer suggests the sea but the question states just 'Mediterranean'.
