In the heart of the Natural Park “Bahia de Cádiz” you will find the perfect site for practising a typical way of fishing called “despesque” in Spanish. This tradition dates back to ancient times and consists of different methods of capturing fish that have entered the marsh of a salt factory through a channel and gone through a natural life cycle there.
The fry enters from November to April to grow out in the months of spring and summer by nourishing on what the marsh offers them, for instance algae, plancton, worms or small crawfish. The species most commom in the marsh are those that are able to cope best with its high salt content, such as soles, perches or eels.
This activity starts out with a welcome apertitif, followed by the actual activity of fishing in which you will get assistance from someone experienced. The fish that actually gets caught, will be flavored and cooked on blaze in the same instant
Later on, in the quarters of the workers of the marsh, the participants will be served products of the marsh, for example cooked shrimps, shrimps in tortillas or any of the other fish that they have fished before, for lunch. In addition to that, there will be plenty of wine and beer from this region to go with the meal to make this experience unforgettable.
