Some of you may've heard of the famous Spanish method of tuna fishing called the Almadraba. It is spectacular. It involves about 7 boats and about 500 half-ton tuna. It happens during about 6 weeks of the year on the Atlantic coast of Spain and is one of the most important local events of the calendar.
As of 2009, Barbate town is organising a tourist boat that will take interested travellers out to sea to watch these fisherman wrestle with the enormous tuna. I can't wait to see it. I live just along the coast, and every year at that time it's all the old boys ever talk about in the bars!!!
