Being sent to PR from Spain in 1492? That would be akin to being shipped to the moon in November 1969.
Does anyone think Spain was going to spend any money sending Jews to PR at a time when it would have been one of the most expensive trips on earth?
This makes no sense.
Pretty much. Columbus' translator, Luis de Torres, is thought to be a converso. As were a couple other crewmembers. Of course Columbus didn't discover Puerto Rico till his second voyage in 1493. And I don't think there were any attempts to settle for 15 or 20 years. So she's off by at least a generation. Great story though.
