Great!

The real name of the spanish conquistador is Pánfilo not Panifilo

Cheers from Spain!

Thanks for noticing the typo! I've made the correction. At re-enactments I portray one of the 10 ladies on the expedition. My dream is to go to Spain someday and follow her trail from Cuellar for San Lucar de Barimeda to the Canary Islands to Santa Domingo to Cuba and here in La Florida.

Excellence Honor to the FloridaFrontiers.

History must always be respected

[herrentanz]

The correct name is San Lúcar de Barrameda, Huelva province.

Well, i am from the northwest of Spain (Galicia) where the weather and the forest are like in Ireland.

Thanks for love your History
