About L'Ametlla de Mar
L'Ametlla de Mar is a fishing town of around 7,400 people, home to Catalonia's principal tuna-fishing fleet and a fish auction at the fishermen's co-operative every afternoon. Its 16 km of coastline has about 30 bays and beaches, fine white sand or pebbles under pine trees, and clear water thanks to seagrass. There are 24 coves, small ones such as Calafató, about 30 metres long. Our homes are unusual for this coast: most are big houses for eight or more, typically with four bedrooms and nearly all with a pool, spread over about three kilometres. Local cooking is seafood and rice, with fideuada, suquet and grilled fish typical, and the beaches are small coves rather than long strands.
