It is currently one of the most important fishing ports in the Spanish Mediterranean. Its main activities are fishing, the loading of salt and the construction of sport boats. Every day the boats land fresh fish and seafood. From Monday to Friday, from 4 p.m. until closing time at 7 p.m. (approximately), you can enter the fish market free of charge to watch the auction of the Peix de Santa Pola. After the auction at the fish market, you can buy these freshly caught products at the Peixatería de la Cofradía (located at the beginning of the fishing port) and at the stalls next to the fishing port (from Monday to Friday from 5:30 pm). To visit the auction, please contact the tourism department of the Santa Pola Town Hall website or the Santa Pola Fishermen's Guild at 619403656. The building has two floors; the first floor or main floor and the upper floor where there is a balcony or grandstand from which you can watch the auction. The itinerary to the bleachers has a flight of stairs so that wheelchair users can stand on the first floor next to the bleachers to watch the auction. The dimensions of the adapted toilet cabins do not allow turning space and do not have support bars for making the transfer, although their installation is planned. <span class="automatic-translation-warning">This text was automatically translated.</span>
