El Dorado

En este trabajo, apoyándonos en las fuentes primarias tanto en español como en chino, intentamos recuperar aspectos cruciales de la embajada que el emperador Wanli, de la dinastía Ming, envió a las Filipinas para comprobar la existencia de yacimientos de oro en las cercanías de Cavite. Así, daremos un papel relevante tanto a los protagonistas como al proceso de un asunto que tenía una gran importancia para la economía china de la época y que marcó las tempranas relaciones entre los dos imperios en los inicios del siglo XVII.

Short Time

The island of Trinidad was discovered by Columbus on the third voyage in 1498. One of the largest and most fertile of the West Indian islands, for many years it remained on the fringe of European activity in the Caribbean area and on the coasts of Venezuela and Guiana. A Spanish settlement was founded there in 1532, but apparently it disintegrated within a short time. Toward the end of the sixteenth century Berrio and Raleigh fought for possession of the island, but chiefly as a convenient base for their rival search for El Dorado, or Manoa, the Golden Man and the mythical city of gold. Throughout the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries explorers, corsairs, and contraband traders, Spanish, French, English, and Dutch, passed near its shores, and many of them may well have paused there to refresh themselves and to make necessary repairs to their vessels. But the records are scanty and we know little of such events or of the settlements that existed from time to time.
