"Almadrabas" Top 5 Page for this destination Conil de la Frontera Favorite Tip by SirRichard

Favorite thing: "Almadrabas" are tuna fish fishing trips. Many little boats gather around the group of tuna fishes passing near the coast and make a kind of circle, trapping them in. After that, they have to catch them and take them into the boat. Some fishes are more than 2 meters long (see pic) so it's a very dramatic fight!!
There are not many chance of seeing one "live" unless you know one of the fishermen and they accept you on board.
You can see sometimes the groups of boats from the coast.
