Tirada de l'art is an old method of fishing from the beach and is how many people of Lloret earned their living for many years. The net is cast out sea then manually hauled in by the people of the town who were then given a few fish in return. These days its still a tradition which is carried out on the first Sundays of February and December to pay tribute to all those fishermen of years gone by.
Yesterday lunchtime the net was drawn into the beach as spectators watched and waited to see what was caught in the net. I'm glad to say it was a much better haul than we saw last year! Once the fish is on the beach its taken up the prepared barbecue for cooking and served with bread and of course (lots of) wine for the waiting crowds!
Catch of the day with lots and lots of small fish but quite a few large ones!
