False.
- The Spanish did not found a city named El Dorado along the Caribbean coast of Colombia or anywhere else. The term "El Dorado" refers to a mythical city or kingdom believed to be laden with gold and precious stones, reputedly located somewhere in the vastness of South America.
- Spanish conquistadors and other explorers searched for El Dorado in the 16th and 17th centuries, but it was never found because it was a legend rather than a real location.
