Fishing tourism in the Region of Valencia

Fishing tourism will take you on an exploration of our coastline and our culture, specifically the fishing traditions that are still very much alive along our stretch of the Mediterranean. Not only can you visit fish markets, such as that of Cullera, you can wander around seaside districts like El Cabaynal in València and even become a fisherman for the day by hopping aboard a fishing boat.  

What is fishing tourism? 

Fishing tourism will give you an insight into what life is like aboard a professional fishing boat. The experience will teach you everything you want to know about sustainability and open your eyes to the hardships of an important profession carried out on the waters of the Mediterranean. You will join the crew on their outings and try traditional and delicious seafood dishes.

Benicasim, Peñíscola and Castelló de la Plana, including El Grau, are two destinations where you can throw yourself into the local fishing tradition and two ports where you can set sail bright and early to see the fishing equipment, discover customs relating to different fish species and come back to shore with a great catch of the day. You can also sit down to a meal featuring fresh fish and other delicacies caught that day.
