Answer: The Spanish continued to explore North America, looking for the golden cities.
Step-by-step explanation:
Álvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca was one of the four survivors of the Narváez expedition. He went back to New Spain with stories collected from the natives depicting golden cities with vast wealth. These stories fueled the Spanish exploration of North America. Nevertheless, Francisco Vázquez de Coronado would eventually learn that the accounts were untrue as he only found adobe towns.
