Abstract

When the explorer Juan Ponce de León arrived on this Atlantic coast on April 2, 1513, he did not know that he was taking a historic step of profound linguistic repercussions. Supposedly sought the source of eternal youth, which according to a tahína legend was in these surroundings. On his route he spotted a land he called Florida, due to the flowering vegetation he saw or because it was Easter Florida time.
