From Palos, Columbus crosses Spain to Barcelona, where the monarchs Isabella and Ferdinand welcome him.
Claiming to have reached islands just off the coast of Asia, Columbus has brought with him Arawaks, artifacts, and some gold.
The royal couple agrees to back a second expedition.
Although Columbus had been sponsored by the Castilian queen, treasury accounts show no royal payments to him until 1493, after his first voyage is complete.
Spain now enters a Golden Age of exploration and colonization, the period of the Spanish Empire.
