Abstract
This article addresses the study of Spanish projects to end Portuguese smuggling in the Colonia del Sacramento. Taking advantage of the conjuncture of the War of Independence of the United States, an expedition was carried out by Pedro de Cevallos with the objective of occupying Santa Catarina and the colony. The Crown decided to exchange the first for the islands of Fernando Poo and Annobon in Guinea, which in reality were not Portuguese possessions. This led to a disastrous and failed colonization project that ended with the abandonment of such settlements and a high number of human losses during that attempt.
