Do I Need a Fishing License in Majorca?

The short answer is, yes. A fishing license is required in Majorca for anyone of 14 years or over. However, any chartered fishing trips will be covered by a 'collective' or 'boat' license (see below), thus you will not need to purchase a license yourself.

There are 5 types of recreative fishing license available in Majorca:

  • Individual - any individual aged 14 years or over
  • Collective - up to 12 people
  • Submarine - scuba or snorkling, usually with a spear gun
  • Sport - for competition and tournaments, this license is free
  • Boat - maximum of 5 people

 

The most popular is the 'Individual' license which allows you to sea fish from the shore, so that will be the main focus here.

Alcudia

Alcudia

Two miles inland from the beach you will find the old fortified town of Alcudia with its walls built up by King Jaume I in about 1300 A.D. The town is excellent to stroll round, and you will be spoilt for choice when deciding what to eat and drink as you take in its charming streets. There is a market held on Tuesdays and Sundays - and, as is usual with Majorcan markets in general, it is best to make an early start!

Torrent de Pareis

Torrent de Pareis

To get to the Torrent de Pareis, make your way north towards Inca, follow the road for Selva and then on to Caimari. After a while you will then start to see the signs for Sa Calobra. The road, with its hairpin bends and classic views, takes you ever downwards to your ultimate destination.
