Many people dream about swimming with dolphins, but what about swimming with bluefin tuna? Ecotourism is becoming a huge attraction for people who take a holiday in Spain<\/u><\/a>, and the region of Catalonia is ripe with such opportunities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ecotourism<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea behind ecotourism is to encourage visitors to look after and care for the environment, teaching them more about the local area, its vulnerabilities, and demonstrating how we can all help to do our part for the environment. Tuna tours take place in the Terres de l’Ebre region of Catalonia, where it\u2019s possible to not only swim with endangered bluefin tuna, but also to learn more about sustainable fishing methods.<\/p>\n

The Tuna Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tuna Tour leaves from Ametlla de Mar for a 30-minute catamaran ride into the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. Sailing away, you\u2019ll get a great view of the coastline, as well as the beautiful villas on the Costa Dorada<\/u><\/a>. The swimming season lasts from June to October, so plan your trip accordingly.<\/p>\n

Although this is open-sea swimming in the Mediterranean, the tuna pool is completely enclosed making it safe for both swimmers and the fish. You\u2019ll be provided with a wetsuit so you can keep your swimsuit clean and dry, ready to throw on once you get back to your villa with private pool on the Costa Dorada<\/u><\/a>!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ametlla de Mar <\/strong><\/p>\n

If a Costa Dorada vacation rental<\/u> <\/a>sounds ideal, then consider staying in Ametlla de Mar, a southern town with gorgeous beaches, plenty of watersports, great museums, a few castles, and truly fantastic views. As one of Catalonia\u2019s primary fishing ports, the local seafood is delicious (and much of it is sustainable, too!). Ametlla de Mar is big enough for couples and families to enjoy a range of activities, while also basking in the small fishing town feel.<\/p>\n
