Direct trade with America

Historical milestone · Vilanova i la Geltrú, Garraf, Barcelona

Image of Vilanova i la Geltrú, not of the place itself.

The free trade regulation of 1778 allowed the Catalan ports to deal directly with the colonies. Vilanova fitted out ships for Cuba and Puerto Rico and the money repatriated by the indianos filled the villa with houses and gardens.
