A little history connection to our Norte- the Santa Maria

[shefollowsshells]

I enjoyed researching the close connections between famous World explorers and famous ships made on the Norte...
Looks like there is some strong thought that they might have found the Santa Maria built in Castro0Urdiales...

So funny, as I was in Castro Urdiales I told my kiddos it was built there...
this was my source, though I admit WIKI is far from the most reliable place to find anything...

Are we correct in thinking that replicas of the ship(s) are on the Magdalena at Santander?

A la Santa María, también se la conocía como La Gallega, según dicen porque pudo haber sido construida en Galicia.
Otros dicen que su nombre es debido a que fue construida en el puerto de Santa María.

A Santa María, also known as La Gallega, they say that may have been built in Galicia.
Others say his name is because it was built in the port of Santa Maria.
