Fishing port & Fish market (Garrucha)
The fish market was built in 1995 with an avant-garde design that replaced the old building built in the fifties. Fresh fish and seafood caught by the fishermen of Garrucha is auctioned there from Monday to Friday at 5:00 p.m. Its interior is decorated by two impressive mosaics; one of the Virgin of Carmel and another of the Virgin of Sorrows.
It is the second most important port in the province of Almeria and is one of the locations of greatest tourist interest in Garrucha. The sale of fish is essential for this fundamentally maritime town. The fishing port mixes very well with the urban aspect of Garrucha, making it an ideal place for those who want to go for a walk at any time.
The most striking part of the fish market and the fishing port of Garrucha occurs in the early hours of the morning, when many boats go out to sea for both recreation and work. In the evening, it is entertaining to see the boats arrive and dock and to admire how they take out the fish and immediately auction what they have obtained during the day. You will want to take photos.
