The red gold that is bluefin tuna returns home. The Cadiz company Petaca Chico celebrated its first 'levantá' - literally, the hoisting of tuna fish after being corralled by boats and nets (almadrabas) - of 2024 on Thursday 18 April and thus the trapping season was opened for business in the waters of Barbate. |
