Francisco Gali

Francisco Gali (1539 in Seville – 1586 in Manila) was a Spanish sailor and cartographer, active in the second half of the 16th century across the Pacific Ocean and in New Spain and Spanish East Indies, particularly Philippines.

[1] At least the last trip was by order of the Spanish viceroy of New Spain, Pedro Moya de Contreras.

[1] His journeys were on the Manila galleons which had started the route in 1565.

[1] For reasons unknown, Gali's report on the Macau-Acapulco journey fell into the hands of Jan Huygen van Linschoten who included that information in his Itinerario (1596).
