Ferdinand Magellan was a Portuguese navigator and explorer that is best known for organizing and for having been the captain of the first expedition to Asia from Europe, in direction to the west, rounding America and crossing the Pacific Ocean. He sailed from the Spanish city of Seville and reached the coasts of islands such as Limasawa, Cebu, Mactan, Palawan, Brunei, Celebes and the Spice Islands, all this before returning to Spain. Magellan didn't complete the voyage, as he was killed at The Philippines.
