A unique visit to the Calpe fish market
Discover the heart of Calpe: the fish market and its 100 years of fishing tradition
Would you like to live a unique and authentic experience? Immerse yourself in Calpe’s fishing tradition by visiting its famous fish market. Every day, at dusk, boats loaded with fresh fish return to the port, offering an unforgettable spectacle.
The auction: an ancient ritual
Attend the exciting fish auction, a ritual that has been passed down from generation to generation. You will see how fishermen offer their catches and buyers compete for the best specimens. It is a unique opportunity to get to know the world of fishing up close and understand the importance of this sector in the local economy.
100 years of the Calpe Fishermen’s Guild
The Calpe fish market is much more than an auction place. It is the heart of the Fishermen’s Guild, an institution that is celebrating its centenary this year. For a century, the Cofradía has been the fundamental pillar of the Calpe fishing community, preserving traditions and ensuring the sustainability of marine resources.
Peix de Calp: a gastronomic treasure
Calpe is known for its exquisite fresh fish, especially the “Peix de Calp”. Thanks to the unique conditions of the Mediterranean Sea and traditional fishing techniques, Calpe fish stands out for its flavour and quality.
The White Prawn of Calpe: a luxury delicacy
