HOTEL SIR FRANCIS DRAKE ( Islas Galápagos )

Sir Francis Drake
Pirate in the service of Queen Bess

Sir Francis Brake enjoys a rather high standing in Anglo countries, but the Latinos tend to consider him to be not much better, or even worse, than a pirate. And such he was: "Pirate in the service of Queen Bess", which Good Queen he presented with a lot of gold. So both Anglos and Latinos seem to be right here. It all depends on your point of view, as so often is the case. Actually, there is not much to choose from between Anglos and Latinos in those times, don't you agree? Plenty of faults on both sides.
Of course Drake wasn't all bad. He was the British leader of the battle against the Spanish Armada and was much more important for his exploits as an explorer.
