Doctor in Economic Sciences and professor of Urban Planning and Port Economics at the University of Barcelona between 1976 and 2013, Alemany has just revised in depth a study on the Port of Algeciras originally published for the centenary of the Board of Works of the Port; commemorated in 2006. The contribution of ports to the development and progress of maritime cities and regions has been very important throughout history. For this reason, the ports of Palma, Alcudia, Mahón, Ibiza and La Sabina have played a transcendental role throughout their history. This book offers a journey through the history of these five ports based on the study and analysis of their infrastructures and facilities, their traffic and functions, and their management and organisation. Undoubtedly, a book that invites reflection with the aim of broadening knowledge and awakening interest in the present and the future of the ports of the islands.
