Urdaneta y el Tornaviaje

Andrés de Urdaneta y Ceráin, sailor, military man, cosmographer and religious in the service of Felipe II, has been unjustly forgotten by our naval history despite having discovered one of the most important maritime routes of all time. Agustín R. Rodríguez, one of the most renowned specialists in naval history, recovers in this epic and novel biographical essay the exceptional adventure of this Basque sailor who established a route between America and Asia, from Acapulco to Manila, of vital importance for trade and the maintenance of the empire, as well as to maintain the preponderance of the Spanish in the seas throughout the ocean. A book called to recover the figure of one of the greatest navigators of the Spanish empire.
