ust played turn24, here's my latest theories about the Spanish empire:

Madrid is still celebrating marriage, so no Spanish settler was in the mood to leave the town so far (Madrid is pop=5 and listed #1 in top5). So... I guess Aggie did not make a philo gambit either and probably goes for a full-throttle farmer gambit with an early grannery. Because he did not send a settler (but likely pre-built granny), I *could* have tried to go for writing/philo instead of maths with my early-settler approach, hoping the AI would't beat me to it. Pity. Anyways, maths is atm 19 turns away at 80% science.
I now have an exploring "canoe", which already detected another island. That is, it *looks* like a seperated island.
My warrior has discovered some silks north of that fesh water lake. A bit too far away to link it up anytime soon.
