FANTASTIC FISHING IN SPAIN!

Tourists go on holiday to Spain for varying reasons; usually it is for a beach side holiday with family and friends.

But Spain is also extremely popular for specialty hobby sports such as, golf, cycling and perhaps rather surprisingly, fishing. A fishing holiday in Spain, especially carp fishing or cat fishing on the River Ebro, can be an amazing experience for anglers of any ability.

Away from the coastal resorts, some 100km inland lays one of the premier carp fishing and cat fishing venues in Europe, where anglers from all over the world go for the opportunity to catch an elusive 60lb carp, or 200lb+ cat fish. That venue is Caspe on the River Ebro.

The River Ebro meanders some 928 km through Aragon and Catalonia, from its source in Fontibre before discharging into the Mediterranean Sea near the town of Amposta. The traditional Spanish town of Caspe, lies, on the banks of the Ebro some 100km east of its provincial capital Zaragoza, and is the mecca for anglers wishing to go to Spain for a fishing holiday.

When planning a fishing trip to the River Ebro in Spain, it is advisable to book with a specialist fishing holiday company, so that you can maximize your opportunities during your stay.
