These settlers were distinguished by severe morals and were considered the best warriors. In 1522, a platoon of Spanish soldiers landed on the island to organize their settlements here. Captain Benito Hurtado managed to reach a peace agreement with the leaders of the local tribes. After 30 years, the Indian villages turned into large Spanish settlements, and the sea routes became the major trade routes connecting Panama with the rest of Central America.
