Spain via Bulgaria, possibly.
Check out biography of Spanish explorer Alonso de Ojeda (c. 1465-1515) in Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alonso_de_Ojeda
It says: His parents were Bulgarian nobles from Ohrid (the name Ojeda is an old Spanish translation of Ohrid), which was part of the Byzantine Empire and part of the Bulgarian kingdom in contemporary Macedonia region. His parents fled to Spain to escape the Ottoman Turks who conquered the Balkans.
