Best Spanish Fishing Licence

A Spanish fishing licence lets you fish anywhere in Spain. It doesn't matter which part of Spain it comes from. All regions have reciprocal agreements between them, so that people can fish using their own licence no matter where in Spain they are from. Right now, we have different kinds of licences. The main thing that changes is which government gives out the licence and what papers and documents you need to submit.  

Spanish Fishing Licence: Cantabria (Recommended)

The government of Cantabria issues this Spanish fishing licence. It will let you fish in the sea throughout Spain, including the Canary and Balearic Islands.

This is issued by the government of Cantabria, in the north of Spain.

Cantabria Fishing Licence vs Canary Islands Fishing Licence

Similarities. Both types of licences:

• Allow nationwide shore fishing. You will need to follow the fishing rules (minimum size fish, banned species, etc. of each area you fish in)
• Are printed on normal A4 paper. Gone are the days when licences were printed on hard plastic cards.

Differences

• Delivery time: The Cantabria licence can be delivered the same or next day, whereas the Canary Islands requires manual processing. Delivery can take up to a week. It will depend on how fast we can fill the application form, pay the fishing fees, and finally get an appointment to present everything at the local fishing office.
• Documents: The Cantabria licence requires no documents. The Canary Islands government requires a copy of your passport, national ID card or Spanish NIE number to be submitted together with the application form for manual verification.
• Validity: The Cantabria one lasts for 5 years, while the Canary one lasts for 3.
