Abstract

During the reign of Carlos V the Canaries sailed, like the rest of the Spaniards, the length and width of the Atlantic Ocean. Many expeditions that had different destinations in the African and American continents were prepared in the Canary Islands. In this paper we will discuss those trips that headed for the coasts of both continents to the South of Cape Bojador and the impact that had on the history of Canary Islands in particular and of Spain in general.
