Why did Magellan went to Spain?
The Treaty of Tordesillas, of 1494, gave the route around the tip of Africa to the Portuguese. It didn't take the Spanish long to realize that the Americas were new continents. They were lying across the route to the Spice Islands, in the Pacific, that Columbus had been looking for. Therefore, the Spanish King, Charles I, determined to find a route to the Spice Islands that Portugal did not control. In the meantime, Magellan, who was Portuguese by birth, who had sailed on voyages of discovery and conquest for Portugal, fell out of favor with the Portuguese King. The King absolutely refused to allow him to sail for Portugal. Magellan moved to Sevilla in Spain. There he studied charts of the world and fell in with 2 cartographers. They proposed a project to Charles I to find a second route to the Spice Islands and he hired them.
