Alfonso Vestriña (17 March, 1448 - 3 September 1511) was a Veleazan explorer and geographer who widely travelled the New world of Vestrim. Over a period of thirty years, Vestriña visited and discovered many lands from modern day Liberimery to New Velacruz under the Veleazan crown. His efforts to survey and map the continent enabled future cartographers and explorers to understand the continent better. His efforts immortalized him as the discoverer of many parts of the new world, and also led to Vestrim being given its name.
