Hopefully I can get some help with a looming crisis as I have reached a point where my knowledge is completely insufficient.

This is in regard to my TL "The Horse and The Jaguar"

I would like to get some guidance on events in Europe, specifically Spain, in a rather narrow time frame.

Without going into too much boring detail, At the moment, it is November of 1493. Columbus has reached the New World on Voyage 1, but has been held in captivity by the Mayans for over a year with his entire company.

I know Spain did not really expect him to return, but since they remain completely in the dark about the Americas, what is Spain doing? What pre-occupies them?

I expect Portugal is going about its business as in OTL, but would I be correct in that assumption? Did Columbus discovery alter their plans as early as 1493?

I greatly appreciate any help and discussion either in this thread or via PM.
