Many Thought it was Barthalomuel Diaz,But Columbus Was The First Person To claim Land For Spain,Also Portugal.

Bartolomeu Diaz was a Portuguese explorer who sailed under the Portuguese flag, so there is no way he could have claimed any land for Spain.

So indeed it is Columbus who was the first to claim land for Spain.
