The connection between the trade winds, the Sea of the Ladies and Andrés de Urdaneta gave rise in the 16th century to globalization and the birth of what was the longest-lived maritime line in history, for almost 250 years.
This line, which linked the continents of Asia, America and Europe, was known as the Manila Galleon.
Fleet of the Indies
But let’s go back to the beginning, and to the creation of the Fleet of the Indies, which gave its name to the Spanish armada that, during the period of Spanish domination in America, between the 16th and 18th centuries, was created to defend the vessels that crossed the Atlantic, through the Sea of the Ladies, from the attacks of the corsairs.
Annual trips
This fleet usually left from accessible ports, such as Cadiz, and it was from 1565 when it was connected with the so-called Manila Galleon, which made annual trips between America and the Philippines, through the Pacific.

Two radio interviews
I am attaching two radio interviews on the subject. A recent interview on Radio Voz, with Eva Maria Millan Calenti, in which we finished with the music of Sons de Celeiro; and another on RNE (R.exterior) with Paula Duarte on this subject and focused on Women at Sea.
I am also attaching the link to the full article on the Exponav blog, and to an article published in the Diario de Ferrol these days on the subject.
