About
You will discover the operation of the only fish market in the world that combines the tradition of the oral auction with automation. Have you ever attended a fish or shellfish auction? At Burela we mix tradition with modernity. In 2021, and in one of the most cutting-edge ports in Spain, we launched a world-first system in the fish market, which makes us the only automated oral fish auction on the planet. A recording with a woman's voice sings the prices from highest to lowest, as was done in the past, but automating the allocation of lots when the buyers so indicate, allowing the availability of instant accounting data. Would you like to know first-hand how this pioneering, unique and innovative system works? Every summer the "Rutas da Lonxa" are organized in Burela, free guided visits to one of the markets with the highest volume of sales in Galicia; leader in the marketing of Pincho Hake and Bonito del Norte.
