    Sehr schön, auch in deutsch und kostenlos. Sehr informativ. Lohnenswert. Auch, wenn man, wie wir, keinen Fisch mag.

    We arrived at the museum today December 29th at 12:10 and the museum was closed! All signs told us it was open! We went there on purpose. Door closed! Like us, other people who were arriving. We called and there is an answering machine saying to call back after a few minutes! No sign saying it was closed! Unbelievable! What bad management: gentlemen of the City Council: we give you a total zero. This can't be happening! What a country!

    I usually never write many reviews, but this small museum really deserves a shoutout. Very interesting introfilm, exhibits and well prepared: brochures in different languages and very attentive staff. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting L'Escala and wants to know more than beach life.

    Such a cool museum. Tells the history of the town and the region. Very simple but nice. And it's free!

  • 5/5 Joan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Val molt la pena visitar. Per començar una petita projecció per fer-nos una idea de com era la vida dels pescadors de l'Escala i després una colecció d'objectes i eines amb explicacions molt detallades. Personal de la sala molt amable.

    This is the public museum alias tourist office. Everything is in Catalan, but an English-language folder was immediately offered to us. Beautiful photos and the history of fishing are explained to you. Nice people help on the spot

    (Translated by Google) A very nice little museum that gives an insight into the life of the fishermen and the processing of the anchovies. When we arrived we were greeted very friendly and immediately shown a film in German. Very informative... I recommend this little museum really recommend! Admission is free, but the employees are happy about a small voluntary donation.

Der Eintritt ist kostenlos aber die Mitarbeiter freuen sich über eine kleine freiwillige Spende.

    La visita guiada ens va traslladar temps endarrera quan la subsistència de la gent de l'Escala estava lligada bàsicament a la pesca. També vam gaudir d'un magnífic audiovisual.

  • 4/5 Jose A G. 1 year ago on Google

When we were leaving the girl invited us to watch a very cool video related to fishing in this town (Original) El museo es pequeñito pero muy bonito La chica que nos atendió fue muy agradable Cuando nos íbamos la chica nos invitó a ver un vídeo muy chulo relacionado con la pesca en este pueblo
