In January-February, fleeing from the bloodthirsty orcas, fish as close as possible to the shores of Cartagena and especially Malaga, where the ancient fishermen were waiting.

Excess prey was allowed in the production of sauce - garum, beloved by the Romans. For this purpose, special stone baths were built near the coast where tons of harvested sauce was fermented under direct sunlight for several months. From below, a transparent liquid, the most valuable sauce, was formed.
