Every summer Salou homes 3 re-enactment performances of the fishing method known as “tirar l’art”. This is a trawling technique on which a large net is thrown into the water from a small boat and then collected from the sand. This old procedure needs a group of man, which makes the whole process a great example of teamwork.
