Experience first hand what it's like to go on a day's fishing! Enjoy a unique experience out at sea on board a small boat where you'll see the sun rise, discover all the secrets of the art of fishing and sample a mouthwatering dish made from your catch.
ADVANTAGES:
The day will begin in spectacular fashion: as you leave the port you'll enjoy magnificent views of the city at sunrise as you sail to the tiny coves on the Catalan coast where your new travelling companions, Barcelona's fishermen, usually land their catch. They'll tell you about the day-to-day routine of their trade while you have breakfast together.
You'll also be provided with informative leaflets telling you about the surrounding area, the type of fish found on our coast and the different fishing techniques the fishermen use.
Once out at sea you'll see how they cast their nets and catch and separate the fish into bins. The deck of the boat is then transformed into a mini-market with fish of all shapes and colours. This is certainly one of the most spectacular moments of the day!.
You'll also be able to chat with the fishermen as they prepare a delicious meal for you and the rest of the crew using your catch. Fish doesn't come any fresher than this!.
The day will end with the usual frenzied activity as the boats moor in the harbour and the fish is unloaded to be sold shortly afterwards at the wholesale fish market where you'll be able to see the auction which marks the end of this incredible journey. Are you ready to become a fisherman for a day?.
