Yes, you criticized "sailing along Africa" but sailing towards America wasn't done by spanish navigators either, it was done by an italian.
I know of spanish conquerors, but not of spanish navigators.
Meanwhile we reached our destination and it was a longer voyage.
We had this discussion before, you are gonna say it was his spanish lackey. A pitty historians don't agree with you though.This is exactly about what I am talking. Did Magallanes circumnavigate the globe perhaps?
Who does history remember? Magellan or Juan Elcano?

Please learn something instead of making such outlandish claims that the Portuguese weren't the pionner of the Age of Exploration and Colonialism.
The Tordesillas Teatry, signed between the two most powerfull nations at the time (Portugal and Castille) 6 years before Pedro Alvares Cabral arrived to Brazil and the Portuguese crown "cohincidently" demanded the line of Atlantic a few meters more West than the previous or the "Beta Version" sugested by the Pope Alexander VI, which "conviniently" made the west coast of Brazil to become Part of the Portuguese line of possessions. Which can give us the conclusion that prior to the Insane claims from Colombo, João II from previous accidental landings on South America and perhaps Central America already knew that there was a new continent on the other side of the Atlantic ocean.

How not? it was Spanish infrastructure and except Colón, who did not know what he was doing, and some foreign sailors all of them were Spanish.
Exactly, your destination. Portuguese knew the route. Again, where is the merit? I say the merit compared with discovering, conquering and colonizing an entire continent.
And Magallanes was the Portuguese lackey of the Spanish king
Obviously both. One for dying trying and the other for doing it.

It was his expediction. He was the captain and the spanish kingdom provided the ships. He did everything else, including sailing to America.
The objective was to reach India by sea and to get access to the spice trade. We did it and there's certainly merit in that and we didn't need to hire an italian to do it for us.Exactly, your destination. Portuguese knew the route. Again, where is the merit? I say the merit compared with discovering, conquering and colonizing an entire continent.
History remembers the captain and the man who organized the expediction. The man who did 80% of the voyage, not the sailor who brought the ship home after his captain died.And Magallanes was the Portuguese lackey of the Spanish king
Obviously both. One for dying trying and the other for doing it.
That's why one is famous and the other isn't.

For this theory you Portuguese are Spaniards, specifically Leonese/Galicians/Castilians.
Portugal would have hired that Italian if your scientists had had more faith in him
It was not a question of chauvinism precisely.
That is rather like 50% of the voyage.
History remembers Spain as the discover, conqueror and colonizer of America, plus being the first country to circumnavigate the globe.
Why does history remember Portugal?
