Magellán útjától Spanyolország fűszerútvonalának kialakításáig
From Magellan’s Voyage to the Establishment of Spain’s Spice Route

Nautical and Meteorological

Summary/Abstract: The chief goal of Magellan’s voyage was to find a passage between the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans, as well as a sea route which would give access from the North to the production area of the spices. Having reached the area, the next thing to do was to map the return journey, thereby establishing a Pacific commercial route. After a brief description of the difficulties encountered by Magellan on his way, the paper explores the attempts of the Trinidad and some of the ships to return through the waters of the Pacific. The return voyage to America was first successfully completed in 1565, and in the following years the spice route of Spain was definitively established.
