The correct answer is - West Indies.

The first Spanish colonies were set on the land of the West Indies, or more specifically, on the island of Hispaniola, nowadays divided into Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The first Spanish settlement was named La Navidad, but it didn't lasted for long because it was destroyed by the local Taino people. Second settlement was than made, bearing the name Isabella, and after few years a third one, Santo Domingo, all on the same island.
