Almadraba is the name given to this type of fishing ancient art that existed from phoenician times. This project shows the trap in Conil, Cádiz.
In the southern Spanish coast, with spring, the arrival of bluefin tuna is expected, the wildest kind. Five hundred kilometer giant anchors and many networks are transported on the boats which later formed a deadly maze corrals tuna in its path.There begins a struggle between man and nature.boats gather in a circle, while hundreds of tuna splashing with their tails. The water seems to boil, forming an image of an overstretched force. Fishermen are slowly raising network. His bruised and aching bodies stimulated with the hope of a good catch. After the battle, the sea dyed red, calm and muted, giving way to silence.
