Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba was the captain of an expedition that left Castilla del oro (Cuba) in 1517, with the intent of finding more indigenous people to enslave. But none of it went as planned.

Cristina tells Carmen about this failed expedition and the victory of the Maya, who drove the Spaniards out during their battle.
