Gaspar de Portolá explored to establish Spanish presence in California, to assert Spanish control over the territory, and to search for new trade routes and resources.
Gaspar de Portolá was sponsored by Spain during his expeditions to Alta California in the late 18th century. Spain was seeking to expand its colonial territories and strengthen its presence on the West Coast of North America.

As a military officer, Portola saw the exploration of new territories as an opportunity to expand Spanish influence and secure resources for the empire.
