The new sales unit.It is located in La Ribera wharf in the new area of the harbour. It separates the fishing area of the port from the marina.
The building is one large, rectangular, open-plan structure with a gable roof. It is interesting to notice the large wooden arches which make up the main body of its structure. These are clearly visible because of the see-through divisions that separate the different areas related to the sale of fish within the building.
