Description: The Spanish Manila-Acapulco galleon (Tornaviaje) trade finally began when Urdaneta discovered the eastward route in 1565, from the Spanish East Indies (Philippines) to New Spain (México). Andrés de Urdaneta (1498-1568) was a 16th century Spanish explorer, navigator, geographer, and scientist. The Pacific galleons' ports were Cavite and Acapulco, then goods went overland in México to/from the port of Veracruz and Atlantic Flota de Indias galleons to/from the Casa de Contratación in Seville, and after 1717 in Cadiz, Spain.
