In this visit, which we offer in collaboration with the Anchovy Art Gallery of Conservas Ana María, it begins in the fishing port of our fishing village, touring the town's dock, thus learning about the arrival of the purse seine boats, the mechanism of auction, the walk of the Italian salters... Our steps will take us little by little to the Anchovy Gallery where, thanks to its varied contents and the explanations we receive there, we will be able to learn about the origin and production process of the anchovy fillet. The final touch comes with the tasting of such an exquisite delicacy!

On this visit your guide will be the French emperor himself who will guide you through the fortifications of what was the impregnable square of the French troops in the War of Independence. Such was its strategic importance that it came to be called "The French Gibraltar" or the "Gibraltar of the North". Dare to have a fun and different time while learning about the history and culture of the place.
