The Carrera de Indias
The Carrera de Indias was one of the most important and influential trade routes in the history of Spain and the world during the Early Modern period. Established in the early 16th century, it connected the Iberian Peninsula with the Spanish territories in the Americas and Asia, creating an unprecedented intercontinental bridge of commerce and culture.
Global Hispanic Parliament
The Global Hispanic Parliament is an institution founded by civil society to promote initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life of Hispanic communities and giving a voice to *Hispanidad*. It is a digital parliament, with no physical headquarters, operating beyond the framework of nation-states, where all Hispanics around the world are welcome. It employs a system of direct democracy, enabling every citizen to elect their representatives directly, without the need for political parties as intermediaries.
