In the discovery and colonization of America natural ones of Ayamonte have participated many. Rodrigo de Xerez was one of which they went with the Pinzón Brothers in the first trip of Columbus. Possibly he would be a franciscano missionary of the convent of Ayamonte that gave name him to this town. If request is some historical data me they transmit it. Thanks.
