Has anyone ever traveled to Spain and done research on early Spanish exploration in the United States. Is it possible? Would it be worth it?

Welcome to Treasure Net !!
Your questions seem too broad. What are you looking for?
Early explorations by water or overland? A certain treasure legend?
You might only gain knowledge. Would that be WORTH IT?
Anything is possible.

I was wondering if anyone has ever done that on the site? If you had the chance to go to Spain what would be the best course of action? Should you have one legend you research, maybe one explorer and his explorations, , maybe just gather maps, maybe go to Universities, maybe just one area of exploration or all of the above? I am interested in what is the best way to take advantage of a short vacation to Spain for around five days to research old world treasures.
