Dramatised fish auction in Santurtzi
More about:
Santurtzi's seafaring past comes to life in the dramatised visit to the fish auction.
Through a group of actors playing typical local characters, visitors will relive those golden years of the fishing port where the sacrificed work of the sardine sellers and the arrantzales left an indelible mark on history.
The famous sardine sellers were the pillar on which the itinerant sale of fish was based, the profits from which fed so many families in the fishing town.
Through a tour of the Fishing Port, visitors will discover how a traditional auction was held and will be part of a memory that still beats with emotion in the hearts of the people of Santurtzi.
