An urgent message from the King and Queen of Spain

To travel from Spain to India by boat, I would choose to go around the border of Africa and end up in Asia. I would take the Atlantic Ocean to the Southern Ocean and end up in the Indian Ocean. Once my men and I get to India we will look around and get ourselves familiar with our environment, so that we will know were we will be able to locate the spices and silk. If people don't speak Spanish or Italian I will find someone who does speak Spanish or Italian and their language. If they act or look strange to me I will have to take them for who they are. I will be looking for silk, spice, and anything else that looks valuable. I will try to bring back new and undiscovered items.
