Come on board with us, a fisherman and an expert guide. We will guide you during your visit to the fishing grounds and we will observe the traditional arts and forms of fishing. We can also visit the different fish markets, enjoy the fish auction and learn about the history of fishing and the Mar Menor in the Museum of the Sea. Guests will be able to observe the work of the fishermen during a typical fishing day, observe the work of fishing from the boat, the selection, preparation of the fish for sale and the setting of the fishing gear.
From Conil's fishing port and guided by Manuela “La Calichi”, as everyone knows her in Conil (granddaughter and daughter of fishermen and who since she was very young had her first experiences in fishing, since at 16 years old she embarked with her father as a sailor) we will put bow to some of the fishing grounds of our coast to approach a boat belonging to the Conil's fishing producers organization (OPP72), with the aim of learning and discovering how the fishermen carry out their activity, as well as the fishing gear they are using, as well as learning about the different species caught and some of the secrets of how to preserve them in the best conditions.
There are other routes such as the one that focuses on explaining the history of the coast with its watchtowers.
Enjoy an exclusive catamaran ride on the Mediterranean, where you will discover its biodiversity, the importance of sustainability and the fishing tradition. Extend your experience with optional visits to the Denia fish market, a traditional fishing boat or a delicious tasting of fresh products.
On this route we will depart from the Conil fishing pier and sail to the fishing grounds where our fishing boats work to discover the different types of artisanal fishing used by the fishermen of Conil. Once we are in the fishing grounds, you will be able to see live how these fishing boats fish, the gear they use, the species they catch and everything you want to know about these traditional fishing arts.
We will show you how they store and carry their catches to Conil port, which is the snow water, ensuring that the fish arrive with the highest quality and freshness, and thanks to this, these fish have the certified designation of origin, with the mark of “ Conil Fish ”. If you wish, you can extend this experience with a guided tour of Conil's fishing port, where you can see the fish unloading process at the dock.
