If you are enquiring about permits it is best to get these before you arrive. We can do this for you but it does mean you have to send us copies of your passport/driving licence and possibly other documents also. It is not difficult or expensive, but as the law in Spain can change overnight it is often better to be safe than sorry.
However people do come over and just fish without a permit.
