[KGWO Social Media]

Ahoy, explorers and adventurers! Our treasure hunt sets sail to the shores of discovery, where history and music intertwine in a grand tale of courage and curiosity. Vangelis’s iconic 1492: The Conquest of Paradise, arranged by John Glenesk Mortimer, will guide ye on a journey to a port that launched an era.

⚓ The Clue That Charts the Course

"In the land where caravels set sail under stars,
A Genoese navigator began his quest,
Departing from a port that launched a new era."

The answer, me hearty, lies in the historic town of Palos de la Frontera, Spain, where Christopher Columbus began his daring voyage in 1492.

🗺️ The Port That Changed the World

In this quaint Spanish harbor, three caravels—the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa María—were prepared to cross the vast Atlantic. Under a canopy of stars, Columbus and his crew departed from Palos de la Frontera, embarking on a journey that would forever alter the course of history. This small town, with its timeless cobbled streets and maritime spirit, became the starting point for the Age of Exploration.

🎼 A Musical Tribute to Discovery

Vangelis’s 1492: The Conquest of Paradise is a symphonic ode to humanity’s endless quest for knowledge and adventure. Its powerful melodies evoke the courage it takes to venture into the unknown, perfectly capturing the spirit of Columbus’s journey and the dawn of a new era.

🕵️Clue:

"Along Cornwall's rugged shores,
In a town where the sea meets the moor,
A comic opera set sail,
Lampooning duty with a pirate's grin."
