"Spain" did not exist as a political entity at the time of Coumbus' explorations.

His explorations were financed by King Ferdinand of Navarre and isabella Queen of two kingdoms; the Kingdom Castile and the Kingdom of Leon.

Neither monarch ever relinquished their sovreignty to the other even though they ruled together. The three kingdoms were first united when the grandson of Isabella and Ferdinand inheirited all three kingdoms in 1516. The three kingdoms formed the core of what became Spain. The grandson ruled as Phillip I.

They gave him money and ships.
