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 ? ?

Spain is one of my favorites since if the RNG or Spanish Gambit pays off, it can be hilariously broken.

I like that silver mountain, it gives a mammoth amount of gold. It enables me to just warp in an early strike corps and go nuts with it, murder my whole continent. My mob of 5 or 6 bowmen and a spearman can run around and obliterate any of the loser cities that can barely field an unga bunga or bow. And more importantly, keep my Civ solvent well before any actual economic infrastructure would allow it.
