Answer:

Juan Ponce De Leon

Step-by-step explanation:

Spain established colonies on the islands of Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and San Salvador. Juan Ponce de Leon, the Spanish governor of Puerto Rico, sailed from that island to the peninsula now called Florida. He explored this area in search of the "Fountain of Youth." He returned to Puerto Rico without finding the magic water.
