A Fishing Trip in Spain
Simple phrases for getting a fishing licence, buying bait and spending a morning fishing from the shore.
In Spain you need a licencia de pesca even to fish from the shore, and it's issued by each comunidad autónoma, usually online in a few minutes. Sea fishing from a breakwater or beach is popular, with rules on minimum sizes and how many fish you can keep. The cards follow an early morning fishing trip on the coast of Cádiz with a friend's uncle.
