ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Germà Colón

Okay, so you know how sometimes people have brothers and sisters? Well, Christopher Columbus, who was a really famous explorer a long time ago, had a brother named Germán. We call him "Germà Colón" in Catalan because that was the language they spoke where they grew up. Germán was also an explorer, but not as famous as his brother Christopher. They grew up in a family that loved adventures and exploring new places. Just like how you might go on a hike with your family, Christopher and Germán went on big adventures together. So Germà Colón was just Christopher's brother who liked to explore too!
