After months of local confinement, I was free to travel 30 Km far from my house and take pictures of the Mediterranean Sea.

I was lucky of enjoying a rough sea and a nice Palette of colors.

This is a surviving church in Corbera d'Ebre old town.

A reminder of war consequences.

"The town was completely destroyed during the Battle of the Ebro (25 July–16 November 1938) and although the lower part of the town was rebuilt, the upper part, known as Poble Vell (Old Town), including the old church on the hill, has been kept as a reminder.

The town has one of the five information centres run by COMEBE, a public consortium, including the Generalitat de Catalunya, that was founded in 2001 to recover the historical memory of the areas in which the 115-day-long Battle of the Ebro, the longest, bloodiest and most decisive battle of the Spanish Civil War, took place. The Centre d'interpretació de la batalla de l'Ebre (Battle of the Ebro Information Centre) has marked paths on a circuit around the area."

Extracted and translated from wikipedia: ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catedral_del_vi

A wine cathedral is, in the Catalan sphere, a cooperative winery with a large ship built in the Modernist style approximately between 1910 and 1920.

The architects that designed this type of construction are Cèsar Martinell (disciple of Antoni Gaudí) or Pere Domènech i Roura, among others. The denomination was created by Àngel Guimerà to refer, initially, to the Cooperative Winery of the Espluga de Francolí and later extended to the Cooperative Winery of Gandesa and other similar cellars. These buildings have in common their characteristic architectural style, as well as the size of the ships.

The name of the wine cathedral is explained above all by the aesthetics (for example, by the facade and the vaults of the ceiling) and by the dimensions. Keep in mind, on the other hand, that the beauty and other peculiarities of these works are linked to functionality. It is a specific conception of modernism, in which the aesthetics and functionality were built on the wall; and so is seen in many other modernist works that are wineries like the attic of La Pedrera in Barcelona, the Palace of Catalan Music of Barcelona, the Institute Pere Mata de Reus or slaughterhouses Modernist Tortosa among others.
