A real visitor's hoax. They put you in a room and put a video on you. You see nothing. Everything lasts half an hour and the goal is that you buy their anchovies / as a visit is worthless.
Interesting visit

The tour was only limited to an 8-minute video, which was interrupted by the man's extra explanation. It was fascinating to see, but personally I expected even more to see something of the production process in action. The tasting was very good, different kinds to taste. No purchase obligation. The low cost of the trip is also very positive.
Nice if you understand Spanish...

If you understand Spanish, it's probably interesting... but personally I don't understand it...so as there are only explanations and very few visits (in fact we only see the small workshop where girls can anchovies)....well it's a bit complicated. There is a small video at the beginning that explains how salting works, cutting anchovies and canning .. fortunately the images speak for themselves... Otherwise the products are excellent. Advice bought locally because it's the cheapest I could see... Too bad there is no documentation in French or English...
