Summary "Naufragios de Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca" by Núñez Cabeza de Vaca is a historical account written during the early 16th century. The text is a firsthand narrative of the author's experiences as he embarks on an expedition to Florida, detailing the hardships faced by the crew, including shipwreck, encounters with indigenous peoples, and the struggle for survival in a foreign land. The opening of the narrative begins with the departure of the expedition led by Governor Pánfilo de Narváez from Spain, sailing towards Florida with a significant crew and expectations of conquest. Cabeza de Vaca introduces himself and his companions while recounting the initial stages of their journey, including stops at various ports and the challenges they face along the way.
