On August, 3, 1492 he set sail from Palos de la Frontera, in Huelva, with a hundred men and with three ships called the Niña, the Pinta and the Santa Maria. He stopped in the Canary Islands. On September, 6, 1492 he left the Canary Islands.

    Chistopher Columbus was born in Genoa on October 31, 1451. Influenced by the books of Marco Polo. Christopher Columbus sighted land and finally he landed on an island in the new world of the Americas. Columbus traveled to other close islands, and finally he went back to Spain.

    Columbus travel has continued to inspire other explorers.
