Cadiz Coastal Fishing Life

Description

Fishing village rhythm with drying and net repair. In Cadiz. Drying racks and tarpaulins along the coastal barangays are one of the most visible everyday rhythms on the island — fish split and salted, seaweed spread out, all of it laid out in the morning and turned through the day. WHAT TO DO: it’s a working area, not a display; walk through, ask before photographing people, and buy dried fish direct if you want it (far cheaper than the market). ACTIVITIES: pairs naturally with an early visit to the nearby fish landing, since the drying is the second half of the same morning’s catch. SAFETY: no particular concern beyond sun and slippery ground — the smell is strong and the flies are constant, which is the honest reality of it.
