Llampuga is a migratory fish, usually at home in the Atlantic and is better known as mahi mahi or dolphin fish. Cala Ratjada is the main fishing port for this fine specimen.

It is so important to the fishing port that a fair in its name is held here every October. Come and sample llampuga, cooked traditionally with peppers or in a host of other ways.

There will also be a tapas contest and live music.
