Description
If you plan to take your child fishing in Spain, it’s essential to know that a child fishing licence is required in some regions. This licence allows children under 14 years old to legally fish in areas where licences are necessary, such as the Canary Islands. However, not all regions have the same rules.
For instance, in the Balearic Islands, children can fish without a licence, making it an easy option for families. Meanwhile, in the Valencian region, children can fish as long as an accompanying adult has a valid fishing licence. This area includes popular coastal regions like Valencia, Alicante, and Castellón. In these cases, the child can share the rod with the adult.
Who Needs a Child Fishing Licence?
Age: The licence is for children aged 0-14 years. If your child falls within this age range and youāre fishing in a region that requires a licence, this is the permit youāll need.
