fishing

Getaria, (Gipuzkoa - Basque Country) Spain

Fishing nets are a common sight to be seen all along the port of Getaria and it is not uncommon to see women sitting for hours on end sewing damaged nets to be able to take them out on the water to be used over and over.

Fishing, along with tourism and txakolí (wine), is one of the the major sources of income for this town situated on the northern coast of Spain.
