Bathing among tuna, a unique experience with Tuna Tour in waters of Ametlla de Mar
L'Ametlla of Mar.Tuna-Tour. Missing a few minutes before ten o'clock. We are in the month of June 2012, at the port of Ametlla de Mar, with the Balfegó Tour, a modern catamaran Balfegó Group that takes us to our meeting with hundreds of bluefin tuna in the Mediterranean. Soon we bathe with these impressive animals can grow to three meters long and weigh over 600 kilos. Balfegó Group is a company born in l'Ametlla de Mar for five generations. The Group focuses all its activity Balfegó around the Mediterranean bluefin tuna: tuna from the breeding farms to their fishing sea, preparing it for sale in local markets or outdoors and, since 2012, has expanded its activity Balfegó with the aim of raising awareness of the Mediterranean bluefin tourism. The pattern of Balfegó Tour welcomes aboard the boat to the group of tourists who will make the journey that should lead us from the port of Ametlla de Mar to the breeding farms, located on the high seas where tuna are your life cycle. The Balfegó Tour is a modern and very spacious catamaran. With capacity for 60 people plus crew we can move seamlessly between the two decks of the boat. The catamaran has begun to maneuver and within minutes we have left behind the port of Ametlla de Mar. In the lower deck is a documentary that explains the close relationship between man and tuna and details some of the ancient techniques that have facilitated their capture by emphasizing, above all in the technique of almadrava. After a while on board the Balfegó Tour our attention is focused on bluefin tuna farms Balfegó Group has offshore. A set of circular floating farms that attract large numbers of gulls. Within minutes we bathe in contact with the Mediterranean bluefin tuna. The catamaran has completed its landing approach. We put the life jackets, the goggles, and little by little, we enter the sea. The water temperature is about 22 degrees. Once acclimated in water we stand still on the surface, almost motionless. It's the best position for watching groups of tuna with whom we share the bathroom. The experience is unique, pass over and over again and the feeling of surprise is continuous. Under the Sea, in contact with the tuna, there are children, their parents, young people, older people ... together sharing a unique and exclusive on the Spanish coast can only live in Ametlla de Mar and by Experience:Tuna-Your.
