Description

The postcard of Moll de Costa de Tarragona from 1926 shows a large steamer docked and intense commercial activity with wine bottles and workers in full action. This image is a visual testament to the economic vitality of the Tarragona port during the 1920s, when maritime trade, especially wine, was a key driver of the Catalan economy. The document reflects the integration of Tarragona in the Mediterranean and European trade routes, and highlights the role of the ports as spaces for connection, exchange and development. It is part of the themes of trade, economy and international relations, and reinforces the idea of ​​an active Catalonia in the construction of economic Europe.
