thanks for explaining the spanish translation of "squid". this will help me to do a bit more research into squid fishing in that part of the world.
i am looking forward to hearing about all the best squid fishing spots in spain!
take it easy, glen <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/xyxthumbs.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />

thanks glen!
the names can change from region to region in spain, which makes things a bit difficult at times:-
cuttlefish - sepia, jibia, choco, chopito...
squid - calamar, lura, chipiron, puntilla, pota*
* this last one is quite inferior to the 'calamar' & is reflected in the price at market, being considerably cheaper. often used in rice dishes instead of the superior calamar.
chopito, chipiron & puntilla are all names for the juveniles of each species. some restaurants offer tiny 1.5" specimens fried and eaten whole!! seriously scrummy, but a form of infanticide probably...
spain has the largest fleet in the world after russia & japan & are big time fish & shellfish scoffers...
hope this helps in your research.
