Alonso Sánchez de Huelva was an alleged 15th-century mariner and merchant born in Huelva, Spain, on Andalusia's Atlantic coast. After the European discovery of America, several rumors started to spread, especially among the conquistadores, claiming that America had not been discovered by Columbus, but that its existence was known at least 20 years before 1492.
