Life
Pedro Cubero was born in the village of El Frasno near Calatayudin in the Spanish region of Aragon . He studied in Saragossa and Salamanca until he was ordained a priest in Saragossa and soon after went to Rome . In accordance with his missionary work, he made a trip to East Asia in 1670 . This led him further and further east around the world. The trip is significant because it was the first time in history that a significant portion of a circumnavigation of the world was traveled by land.
He traveled through Paris , Venice , Warsaw , Moscow , Istanbul , Astrakhan , Isfahan , Bandar Abbas , Surat , Goa , Colombo , Mylapore , Malacca , the Philippines , Beijing , Moluccas , Acapulco , Veracruz , Havana and finally Cádiz . He arrived in Madrid in January 1680 just in time to take part in the celebrations for the arrival of Maria Louisa of Orléans , wife of King Charles II of Spain .
His report Peregrinación del mundo (World Tour) on his adventures around the world, which he published in Madrid in 1680, is considered to be very objective and detailed.
