This was a really interesting experience to learn about the history of this particular sardine factory and the process of cleaning and canning the sardines with the various flavours. It started with a video and a tour around the old building and the current factory. We were able to view the staff working and processing the fish and wrapping the tins. The whole process was explained by our guide who answered any questions cheerfully. With the other guests we had the opportunity to practice wrapping a sardine tin and take it home. The tour ended in the museum cafe where we were treated to local bread and sardines, in 2 flavours, along with wine and water which was lovely and we had not expected. There is a shop where you can purchase sardines and other items relating to the factory. When we were ready to leave the staff were happy to book a taxi for us to return to our hotel. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. My friend was intitially sceptical but really enjoyed this tour also. They also provide covers for your shoes, disposable jacket and hair net to maintain hygiene on the factory floor during the tour with lockers provided to leave your belongings safely.
