San Juan, Nov 19 (EFEUSA).- Puerto Rico on Wednesday is celebrating the 521st anniversary of its discovery with an open debate about exactly when Christopher Columbus first set foot on the Caribbean island and claimed it for the Spanish Crown.
Añasco Mayor Jorge Estevez Martinez told Efe that the explorer arrived at a beach in his town on the island's western coast and not at a point between Aguada and Aguadilla as has been accepted up to now, an idea that has sparked debate on such an important date for Puerto Ricans.
Estevez Martinez said that the theory of the former official historian of Puerto Rico, Aurelio Tio, and various studies by a team of oceanographers from the University of Puerto Rico, about which he gave no details, are the basis for the claim that Añasco was the place on the island where Columbus first landed.
He said that, although for many years it had been accepted that Columbus arrived between Aguada and Aguadilla, that was because those two municipalities appropriated and pushed the idea, an initiative that Añasco had no way to counter until now.
The mayor said he believes that the archaeological finds dating back to the Spanish colonizers in Añasco, which has a deep bay with optimum conditions for an anchorage and a navigable river, are other facts that add weight to his theory.
Estevez Martinez is prepared to promote his theory outside Puerto Rico, specifically during the National Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York City next year, where a delegation from Añasco will be present.
Puerto Rico's current official historian, Luis Gonzalez Vales, told Efe that Nov. 19, 1493, is the date on which it is estimated that Columbus first landed on the Caribbean island on his second trip to the New World.
From that point forward, he said, Spain was tightly linked to the Caribbean island until the U.S. invasion of Puerto Rico in 1898 brought the Spanish presence to an end.
Although Puerto Rico was discovered and its coastline explored by Columbus and his expedition of 17 ships in 1493, it was not until 1508 that the island - which was inhabited by Native Americans - began to be colonized by the Spaniards. EFE
