Villagarcia, Spain - The Dock: A Timeless Scene from the Past (circa 1908) Step back in time with this photograph of Villagarcia's dock, a picturesque scene from the early 20th century. Located in the northwestern Spanish region of Galicia, Villagarcia is a charming coastal town nestled on the Rias de Arosa estuary. In this panoramic view, the dock, known as "muelle" in Spanish, stretches out into the estuary, connecting the town to the sea. The wooden jetties and pontoons, worn and weathered by the elements, provide mooring for the traditional fishing boats that once formed the backbone of the local economy. The oxen, powerful and sturdy, are shown tethered to the dock, ready to assist in the unloading of goods from the boats. Their presence underscores the importance of manual labor in the daily life of the town. The estuary, teeming with life, is a hive of activity. The calm, shallow waters are home to a diverse array of marine life, including mussels, oysters, and other shellfish, which have long been a staple of the local diet. This photograph, taken circa 1908, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the simple yet resilient way of life that once thrived in Villagarcia. The scene is one of general tranquility and harmony, a testament to the enduring connection between the people of Villagarcia and the sea.
