Francisco de Cuéllar survived a shipwreck near Streedagh beach, in Co. Sligo (Ireland).

The film Armada 1588 tells that story: https://youtu.be/2LxjGGzjtAE

Every year in September, Spanish Armada Ireland organises an event called Remembering the Armada, to pay tribute to those fallen in that coast: https://youtu.be/xTUwTmjauLg

This year will happen between September 17th and 20th: https://spanisharmadaireland.com/full-programme-2026/

No, I'm sayng that Portugal never closed the circuit that led to a global trade route. They built a line between Europe and Asia, but Asia and America remained economically disconnected. It was that loop that Spain closed that enabled a global economy.

Spain was the first globalization, not Portugal. The article forgets to mention two key elements:

1) The Manila galeon[1], the first trading route connecting Europe, America and Asia. This was the first trully global trade route (Portugual never established a trans-Pacific route).

2) The Real de a Ocho[2], the first global currency, used virtually everywhere including the US until the modern dollar replaced it in 1857. It still lives through the $ symbol, representing the Pillars of Hercules and the "Plus Ultra" script [3].

It also downplays the role of Spain in the first circumnavigation. Sure, Magellan was born in Portugal, but he sailed for the Spanish Crown. The expedition was financed by Spain, sailed Spanish ships and finished its trip commanded by a Spanish sailor (Juan Sebastián Elcano).

Finally, it is worth mentioning that the Spanish was not an empire of mere territorial possession, it was a civilization. Spain has currently 50 sites inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage [4], and from the ~150 sites in the Americas, ~50 were built by Spain. These includes entire cities, universities, hospitals, infrastructure, defenses and more [5].

In that same spirit, I can highly recommend the book "The Elements of Computing Systems: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles" and its associated course "From NAND to Tetris": https://www.nand2tetris.org/
