The Mysterious Cities of Gold
Taiyou no Ko Esteban

Ten years after Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe in the 16th century, a young orphan named Esteban dreams of seeing the world. He is invited by the navigator Mendoza, who saved him from a shipwreck 10 years ago, to join him on an expedition in search of the Seven Cities of Gold in the New World. Esteban hopes that they will also find some clues leading to his missing father. Through their journey, Esteban soon meets Zia, a kidnapped Incan girl, and Tao, a boy descended from the sunken continent of Mu. In the new world, they discover many lost technological wonders, all while being pursued by a rival crew led by Gomez and Gaspard, who are also looking for the hidden Cities of Gold.
