Über diesen Tip
The tainha fishing season opens on 1 May, and the Campeche fishing community marks it at its rancho on the beach with a procession, a beach mass, a blessing of the fishermen and cultural activities, which start the evening before. The traditional beach net, hauled from the sand by many hands, depends on weather and fish. Arrive early on the morning of 1 May and ask locals where the nets are being hauled.
