Fishing Licence
Posted: Fri Oct 21, 2016 3:20 pm
I heard that in Portugal you need to have a fishing licence for both shore and boat fishing.
As I fish often, I thought I should show willing rather than ignorance!
Locals can get one from a cashpoint but n locals need to go in person to:
Deleg. de Barlavento DRAP Algarve
At: Porto de Pesca de Portimão 8400-278 Parchal
Tel: 282 490 630
Fax: 282 490 631
It is open Mon-Fri and closed for lunch.
Go off the N125 towards Portimao before the bridge signposted Estombar/Ferragudo/Parchal.
Follow the Parchal signs for a few miles before there is a roundabout with the port to your right. You go through past a security shed and the building you need is first on the left when you turn immediately left. You pay in cash and its 8 Euros for a year for a shore licence. You will need a shorter term licence to go on a boat trip. You need your passport and then keep a copy of it with the licence when you fish. Hope helpful and tight lines!
