habla espana??

Any1 had the pleasure of fishing in Spain? I'm after some guidance. Is a license required and can you fish anywhere along the coast like over here?

So no takers on the Spanish invasion then

Sorry!

Vague recollection of reading something about licenses required and having to be applied for in advance once but I'm really not sure

Nothing on google?

Failing which shout a lot in English!

Just found out if I apply for a license over there I have to do an exam in spanish

The charters must get around this some how. I think its gonna be a case of wait til over there then ask about. Maybe a charter outing

Just chuck a bait out and if anyone approaches you say "Me no speak Spanish"

Half way down that second link it says something about foreign license holders not having to take the exam in Spanish, it's not exactly clear though is it!

I could issue you with a Sunnyrhyl international sea fishing pass which would allow you free access to all venues

I went to alcudia last year did not need a licence but fish on the bell vue complex also fished the harbour at alcudia asked in local tackle shop if we needed any licence we were told not in alcudia unless we were going on a lake or pond for catfish/carp mainly coarse fish hope this helps mate

Sólo puedo hablar un poco de español, pero más de lo que yo hablaba galés


I used to live in Murcia and regularly fished off the coast never had a problem BUT not sure if I needed a licence.

Cheers guys hopefully at least 1 report when I get back
