Almendraba in Spain means the centuries-old method of catching tuna with a system of permanently installed nets.
The fishermen of the Comarca La Janda celebrate the arrival of the animals in the Street of Gibraltar with a variety of events.

In Barbate - the centre of tuna fishing on the Spanish coast - the participating restaurants and bars offer two tuna taps and a beer at a particularly favourable price - and show the interested public how these are prepared.

Tastings of tuna products such as rye or mojama are organised by the local fish factories: There you can also see how the big fish is professionally cut up.
Theatre performances, photo competitions and music are also part of the festival, and similar events are held in nearby Conil.
