La Reina de Indias y el Conquistador

This historically based romantic drama in Spanish has helped me to relive and relearn those epic days of the conquest of the New World by Spanish explorers and adventurers. This period piece is well acted and reflects true-to-life characterizations, not only by the female protagonist Catalina "la India," (played by Essined Aponte) but also by her lover Pedro Heredia (played by Emmanuel Esparza). Although it is a fictional tale, it has several historical personages, not least of which is Fray Bartolomé de Las Casas, a champion of the rights of the aboriginals found in the Tierra Incognita/Nuevo España. Spain had only recently expelled non-Christians from their country and unified it. Nevertheless, to pay their soldiers and continue fighting their continental battles, they needed gold. This commodity drove nobles, adventurers, soldiers, and later the monarchs' agents to seek their fortunes and rule the lands of the "Indians" under the flag of the Christian monarchs of Europe. Atrocities were committed justified by the conquerors' conviction of the inferiority of the people they encountered. At the same time, they marveled at some of the cultures who were no match for Spain's superior arms, strategies, and tactics, although many fewer in numbers. Enjoy the tale while improving your Spanish.

It's like being transported into another time

And great characters who with so many episodes start becoming like old friends

It's just fun! Give it a shot if you like the Spanish or Turkish soap genre ..

Hope Netflix gives us more!!!

This is an historical romance that may or may not have happened - like the movie Titanic's romance . The period and settings are great for a TV series. After about the first 20 episode's the romance morphed into a melodrama and internal intrigue's which for me was more tedious and less entertaining - for other's - it may be your cup of tea. The acting I found first rate and with subtitles I got used to, I feel I should be fluent in Spanish by now - I am not. I have watched 50 of the 60 episodes so I can't give away the ending and would be surprised if there was a season 2 - if there was - I don't think I could watch another 60 episodes of internal back stabbing intrigue There is decent action and some sexual situations but no nudity

Drama...Romance...Action...Treason...Tears...History...Good acting...Good production... what else can you ask for? I really enjoyed this series, the acting and characters are superb, I don't really know which parts of it was true or not, I really don't care and it was not my aim, I've just embarked on this series by pressing PLAY and I let it to take and immerse me on the adventure. I really thought this was a Spanish production but it is Colombian, I am very impressed, they did such a good job. Get a dozen of handkerchiefs prepared, specially for the ending, lot of emotions will blow your soul and TV screen up.

I watched the all episodes. But the climax is very sad .This serial is based on true story, But you can change the climax. Because the Character petro did wrong with Catalina, But really he is a honest man sincerely love Catalina. .but due to the situation he steel the gold from Catalinas family. He never think hearting Catalina. Every audience know that.

Anyway happened that due to the situation . But Catalina father know Petro save his life and followed by what happened That day .Catalina write the wooden peace she died there. But Petro keeping the wooden piece and build the monument for her memory .But she never see that wooden piece again . And if any one situation she see that then she know the Petros real love.

And before the climax Petro and Catalina want to find out her father and he tell to Catalina what happened that day. Then she can clear her misunderstanding abut Petro. Finally She realis the true and love again Ptro .And the climax Perto leave all possitions and go with Catalina and her father to their tribal land.

But now Catalina did marriage she did not find her father,She did not realize Petro sincere love. The Climax is very very sad .If you wat to kill Petro that is better this climax.
