Hello Loopers, welcome back to the Spanish Loops podcast!

This week we touch a piece of story that smells like cinnamon, sounds like conquest and feels like the turning of an empire.

In this week's episode, we are blending a heady mix of spices, power and destiny. We'll explore how the obsession with exotic spices fired up massive changes across the globe and how this connects into the rise of the Catholic Monarchs, the fall of the last Arab Kingdom in Spain, Granada, and a certain sailor you may have heard of: Christopher Columbus.

Want more...?

We’re also bringing to light a lesser known but fascinating figure: Toribio de la Vega.

Who was Toribio and why his role was so important in the scene of post Reconquista Spain? And how did he end up connected to the sweeping global shifts of the 15th century?

You’ll want to hear how all these threads: spices, politics, faith, and fortune, loop together in ways that changed the world forever.

Get comfy and join us for a journey into the heart of a history that still shapes us today.

Enjoy and subscribe for more!
