Resumen
This article aims to approach the consequences, within the scope of soft power in Joseph Nye's terms,
undergone by the Hispanic Monarchy due to the World's first circumnavigation, performed by Magalh~
aes
and Elcano. To that end, the symbolic power of this journey will be analysed from the communication
theory through the application of Burke's dramatic pentad as a contribution to a better understanding of
the endeavour's impact on historical geography. We have critically analysed historical sources, such as
Pigafetta's diary and Transilvano's letter, close to the Spanish perspective on the feat. The results show
the possible existence of a political communication strategy from the very beginning of the feat and the
awareness of the important power that information enabled from the World's first circumnavigation five
hundred years ago.
