Out of curiosity I went to the Archivos de Simanca and typed in 'armada'. I received a response asking for a more detailed/specific request. Remember there was more than one armada sent against England. The survivor you mention is named Cuellar. He was one of the senior officers of the operation. You could query his name. Include the date with the word 'armada'. I have never researched the Simanca archives. It really isn't one of my interests. Good luck....

Spanish Armada 1588
Dear David:
The survivor account from Cuellar is not what I am actually looking for. I just want a listing of all the names that may have spent some time being sheltered in Ireland before being smuggled or ransomed back to Spain. I still could not get anything off of PARES and my Spanish is limited.
