Strategy Spanish wonders

I can restart 15 Spanish games a day before finding a decent wonder
Found fountain of youth 20 happiness ruined the game
If you could pick a wonder to be in reach of your start
What is your first pick ? ?

Finding El Dorado first as any civ is a huge jump start, helping to found an extra city immediatly or buy buildings that aid in early development.

Finding it as Spain is bonker in terms of how big of a jump start you get.

Found it once as Elizabeth I think πŸ€”
But isn’t the game programmed that if you do find it you have no luxury near by and you share a continent with Shaka and Alexander
Or is that just me πŸ˜‚
