Page 12 - VIAJES DE EXPLORACIÓN

 In my opinion, Bartolommeo Dias and his expedition along the coast of

Africa were really important because he opened new trade routes to

Europe from Portugal to India and other parts of Asia, avoiding the

Middle East because of the difficulties.

 I think that Vasco Da Gama voyages played an important role because

he continued and explored the routes Bartolommeo had sailed, going

around the South Point of the African continent, discovering a new sea

route to India in order to access to its wealth, making Portugal in one of

the riches countries in Europe (1497 – 1499).
