Description:
At the end of the 18th century, when Teulada was a farming village, crops were transported by sea, embarking from the naturalports. As time went by, locals started to settle down near their working places, dedicating themselves to fishing. Those small houses where the tackle used to be kept, started to be enlarged until they were converted into real fishing houses, at the same time that this activity was gaining importance.
