description The following paper aims the understanding of seaports’ position within global networks, through the observation of a mercantile company business in the second half of the 16th century. Settled in Medina del Campo, and with a family branch in Nantes, Simón Ruiz’s company developed an outstanding trade and finance activity within the three main economic spaces in the Early Modern Age : the Mediterranean, the Atlantic and the Indic.The analysis and visualization of the places where the company developed its business composes a “space-movement”, on which we assessed hierarchies, functions and relations. One of the most relevant relations, that presented most internodal complementarity within Europe, was the one linking the financial spaces and the mercantile spaces, in which seaports performed as the epicenter.The variety and extent of the company activities’, whether concerning a business (trade, credit, speculation) or geographic scope (including the main European centers and the colonial areas connected through a seaport network), enhanced a global insight about the economical spaces connection, and how seaports performed as the sustaining base of these network dynamics.
