Description

This image captured in Cala Montjoi shows a group of friends with a nanny preparing fish skewers to bake in the sand. It is an everyday scene that reflects the popular summer holidays at Cap de Creus, at a time when tourism had not yet radically transformed the landscape or local customs. The photographic document is a window into post-war social and family life, and highlights the intimate relationship between the population and the territory. This image contributes to the collective memory of the Catalan coast and shows how, even in difficult contexts, the culture of leisure and coexistence was kept alive. It is a significant contribution to the theme of the “beats of Catalan society” and territorial diversity, showing the uniqueness of the Empordà within the European Mediterranean imagination.
