Nowadays, its inhabitants use, as they did centuries ago, the “almabraba” system for fishing, especially tuna. This is a fixed fishing net which is placed approximately 3 Kms from the coast, and where the tuna fish go when they are crossing the Gibraltar Straits in search of warmer waters. The moment of the capture is a spectacle that cannot be equalled which relives the great fishing campaigns of the past. It posesses factories of preserved food that can be visited. Tourism is a new source of income, due to its magnificent conditions of nature; large, sandy beaches, the quaintness of its city centre, although of recent origins, and its lively celebrations.
