The tuna trap in Barbate that waits for the fish instead of chasing it

Draft. This piece will explain how the almadraba works off Barbate: a maze of fixed nets set every spring across the tuna's path into the Mediterranean.

We will go out with Manolo Ruiz, who has thirty years at the almadraba behind him, and spend a day on the packing line with Lidia Galván at her family's cannery.

It will explain why the cannery could close, and what would be lost if Barbate tuna were tinned somewhere else under another name.
