Overview

  • Step into the beautiful, blood-stained laboratory of the Spanish Empire. In the cobblestone streets of Vegueta, you won't just find charming colonial architecture; you will discover the exact blueprint used to conquer the Americas. Join Clara, a visionary storyteller, and Pedro, a meticulous historical detective, as they unravel a dual narrative. You will trace the footsteps of Christopher Columbus and the wealthy merchants who built global trade networks, while simultaneously uncovering the tragic, systematic erasure of the indigenous Guanche people. This is a journey through the genesis of the modern world, told through the stones, wood, and silent plazas of the Atlantic's first colonial city.
