CHAPTER 2: Orchard and Sea

Our 2022 season is all about L'encesa, an ancient fishing art from the area of our Marina Alta. We pay tribute to all those encesers who risked their lives every winter night with the Enceser story.

L’encesa, Our 2022 Season With A Lot Of Light

It consisted of pointing a light source at the sea in order to attract good quality fish. Some brave countrymen, not professionally skilled in fishing, used this method risking their lives every winter night in search for a [...]
