I will be coming over next week and wonder if anyone can offer me any advise.
I am visiting costa de la lux for a few nights, I am wondering if anyone knows of an active fishing port in the region. We am staying in Conil, I do know that there is a tuna festival in Zahara but I think that is just over, also I believe the fish in this area are landed in Beabata but not sure about this.
thanks.

There is a fishing port in Conil. Have a look at this site: http://www.winterwaves.com/tuna-fishing ... almadraba/ for more info.

Re: tuna
Barbate de Franco has a Tuna fishing port and an exhibition. One of the main centres.

Re: tuna
You wont see a lot of the tuna since most of it is sent to the factory ship moored in Barbate.
If you book to go to the Tuna Museum (Just just as you enter Barbate) they will arrange for the tour to be in English for you.
They also have the details of the Sea tours out to the Tuna Nets, and If your lucky (or otherwise) you may see the actual harvesting of the Tuna .... A very Barbaric experience.
Barbate is the main Tuna experience town

Re: tuna
I have seen the way they kill Tuna on film. Looks horrendous. Hence I no longer eat Tuna and the nets kill all sorts of other fish including Dolphins and other sea mammals

Re: tuna
A useful article if you want to see how barbaric the killing of Tuna is and see the other mammals which are also killed along with the Tuna http://www.animalequality.net/node/710

Re: tuna
Luckily the barbaric killing of tuna in the "Mattanza" is pretty rare now. The only place in the Med that still does it this way is in Sardinia.patricia wrote:I have seen the way they kill Tuna on film. Looks horrendous.

In Brittany they still use long line fishing, but sadly the dreaded Purse Seine net is used in most places.
Swordfish are still caught in the traditional way in Italy by chasing them in fast boats and harpooning them.

Re: tuna
Those nets kill all sorts of other sea mammals, they should be banned. We will have no animals left in the sea soon and many face extinction. There would be such a fuss if humans were killed to such an extent whilst catching and trapping other animals for meat. Go vegan is the answer

There aren't many fish left in the Med now.
