Getting a Fishing Licence??

Hi there

My name is Gaynor and my husband and I have a holiday home in Puerta de la Duquesa near Estepona.  I was wondering if anyone could kindly help us with a query.  I have trawled endlessly through websites for advice on how to obtain a 'fishing licence' for 'offshore fishing only'  We don't want lakes or sea fishing, just from the shoreline.  Some websites say we ned to go to the bank, and some say we need togo to the Town Hall.  We went to both in Manilva and no one knew where we should go, but it definitely wasn't to them.

My husband loves to fish and we don't want to break the law and risk being fined 90euros.

Please could someone give us the corect advice on exactly what we need and where we need to go.  I do believe we will need our NIE number and a copy of his English fishing licence.

Your help is very much appreciated

Kind regards

Gaynor

I just went to the Ayuntamiento in San Javier, showed my NIE card, together with two photos and they prepared my licence, which I collected a few days later.

Being a jubilado. it was free and I think valid for some six years. (It´s downstairs, so cannot confirm the time limit.)

If not a jubilado, it is very inexpensive, some five Euro, I think?

Go to Manilva Local Council, Fishing department.

Best,

Maria
