Port of Isla Cristina, Commercial fishing port in Isla Cristina, Spain.

The port spans over 640,000 square meters of infrastructure dedicated to maritime activities, making it the largest fishing facility in Andalusia.

The port's establishment in 1724 initiated a fishing settlement that transformed from La Higuerita into modern Isla Cristina, named after Queen Maria Christina in 1834.

Fishermen at the port maintain traditional fishing methods while incorporating modern techniques, sustaining a maritime heritage spanning three centuries.

The port operates daily auctions where visitors can observe the landing and sale of fresh fish caught by the local fleet of vessels.

The facility processes over 16,000 tons of fish annually, distributing sardines, tuna, and other seafood products throughout Spain and Europe.
