The Elkano Foundation

1519/1522

500 years of the first circumnavigation of Elkano.

The Foundation was created in 2019 to raise awareness about a story that is still unknown: the first circumnavigation around the globe, led by Elkano, exactly five centuries ago. A historical milestone that lasted three years, bringing huge changes for humanity. Along with others, Basques played a starring role in this achievement.

Even though the Foundation remained active three years, their labour has been collected in the following web archive forever.
