The castle and grounds is a wonderful place to spend a day, walking on the well kept and sunny landscape listening to the brake of the waves against the rocks and the beach. The castle is now remodeled to held conventions and social events, very spacious. The restaurant comfortable and air conditioned has excellent chefs and the especially the fish is prepared fresh and with the unique taste and Cuisine that is famous of that particular Caribbean City. The friendly staff make your dinning experience very pleasurable.
I lived in Salgar for few months but I think that the castle is nothing so special. It's not worthy to go there just to visit it.
This just brought to life historical castle, is a must because of the view, the food, the location, the historical importance, etc. It is about 18 mins from the city but if you have a car, just go. If not, get a taxi or a friend to drive you there.
I guess there is a bit of a view but really it isn't a castle by a long shot, although it is a nice venue for weddings and parties.
The sight is outstanding, it is a good place to see the sun set. It is a great place if you want to have some quiet drinks.
It has a very nice view.. Go only if you're passing by; since it's 20km away from Barranquilla city.
We went there on a Saturday morning and had lunch at the restaurant there. The seafood gumbo was excellent and so was my grouper filet. The desserts were varied and the portions, generous. The staff was friendly and corteous. The building was recently renovated and is well maintained.
If you are visiting Barranquilla this is a place you must go! You can take amazing pictures that will make your visit memorable there is a restaurant on site but you don't necessary have to eat there the sight scene is out of this world
It's maybe a 30-40 minute drive from downtown, but refreshing to arrive at its perch on a cliff over the sea. A nice restaurant now operates there. There is no information posted and no guide there. Worth the trek for those who simply want to get out of the city.
Beautiful colonial edification facing the Caribbean sea.The history of the place and the wonderful view of the sea is a journey back in history. Great location for private events.
