Spain soon followed Portugal in the race to find a sea route to India. Motivated by the desire for spices and trade, Spain sponsored Christopher Columbus's voyage in 1492, which ultimately led to the discovery of the Americas. However, it was not until later that Spanish explorers like Ferdinand Magellan would seek a westward route to the East Indies, further contributing to the Age of Exploration.
