Comments: Now to return to "serious" humanities study. The fact is that this site is extremely important for Latin American history, for it is from across the larger bay beyond the peninsula in the background right, where, from the old port of Casilda, that Hernán Cortés, in 1519, recruited men to accompany him to México and undertake the conquest of the Aztec empire. For information on Cortés, see: => Cortés bio.
