For the 2023 season at BonAmb we bring the wonderful world of ‘Les pesqueres’, fisheries: singular fishing spots on the Marina Alta coastline, located on the cliffs in our area. ‘L’encesa’, the story line of our last season, was the millennial fishing art that was done in these fisheries and which consisted of shining a light over the sea with the intention of attracting the fish to capture it.

Les pesqueres were used by villagers from nearby towns, called encesers, who built wooden and/or rope ladders to descend to their difficult-to-reach fishing nets. They fished during the nights of the winter months and products of great value were caught in the market such as bream, grouper, cuttlefish, squid and octopus.
