Title
Colonial Spanish Exploration, 1542-1768
Description
With the arrival of Hernán Cortéz in Baja California, Spaniards explored the California Coast in the 1500s. In 1542, explorer Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo ventured up to Santa Barbara looking for the mythical Strait of Anian, a supposed waterway linking the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This imaginary shortcut would have allowed Spanish galleons easy access from the Port of Manilla in the Philippines to their trading partners in China.
