Perhaps better known in most parts of the world as Christopher Columbus, in Spain he is Cristobal Colon.
I am giving the main link in Spanish for my friends in Spain to appreciate. Those of us in America will already know the in "1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue" and can find some history here...http://www.acs.ucalgary.ca/applied_history/tutor/eurvoya/columbus.html
Anyway you look at it, did he "discover" America or not, Cristobal Colon is a very important figure in World history as well as American and Spanish history.
