Fishing permits are required at all times and can be bought for just a day.
SEA FISHING FROM THE SHORE
Surf-casting is practiced all along the coast, depending on the tides and swell, as well as fishing for sole, 'daurade', turbot and bar from the rocks and harbour walls.
Permits are not needed for fishing in the sea, but it is absolutely forbidden to sell anything you catch.
