The “llotja” (fish market) is the place where the sailors display the catch to the buyers who then bid for the trays that they are interested in.
It is located in the fishing port of Calp, in a rectangular building by the sea. The lower part of the market serves as a fishmonger’s, where one can buy fresh fish just brought in from the sea.
Open during the fishing season (throughout the whole year except for January, September and December) from 5pm onwards, the market also receives visits from curious people who only have to pay a euro at the entrance, which goes to fund the Fishermen's Guild.
Upon entering, one finds a two-storey building. The access is from the upper floor, from where one can observe everything that takes place on the lower floor: the exhibition of the fish, the work of the sailors and the purchases carried out by the customers by way of a system of electronic controls and screens connected to video cameras.
