I think everyone has heard too many stories. I do know that he did land in Baiona. If I had known enough Spanish, I would have paid more attention eight years ago when I was there and read the monument to Columbus that is in the city. I also heard rumors that the Nina (the ship) was made in Baiona.

By the way, Baiona is by far my favorite small town out of the way place in Spain. The Parador is a wonderful place to stay and the ocean views are superb.
