Abstract

This article, through the figure of Fidel Gatell Moragas, is aimed at studying the trajectory that may have been followed by Spanish emigrants who, at the beginning of the 19th Century went to America with the idea of finding a better way to live or even making a fortune. Some of them succeeded, becoming important landowners or merchants, and returned, while others chose to stay. The analysis of epistolary documentation –private– and official sources has allowed us to follow the trail of this Catalan emigrant, a member of a remarkable family, on his trip to Puerto Rico
