Tuna Fishing in Barbate - Cadiz

Tuna Fishing in Barbate - Cadiz

Several fishermen during the 'levantá' of tuna in the vicinity of Barbate, on May 27, 2025, in Barbate, Cadiz, Andalusia (Spain). The 'levantá' of Barbate is the culminating and most spectacular moment of traditional bluefin tuna fishing in the almadraba, an ancient art practiced every spring off the coast of Barbate (Cadiz). It consists of slowly raising the codend net, where the tuna have been trapped during their migration towards the Mediterranean, causing the large fish to emerge to the surface amidst flapping and foam, while the fishermen select and catch the largest specimens. Today, the technique has evolved: the divers sacrifice the tuna one by one with "luparas" (special poles), and the final lifting is done with cranes, although the ritual and collective nature of the process is preserved.
