Good views, good interpretation boards (tho' all in Spanish) a grand iguana and several other much smaller reptiles, some with spiral tails
Tourist trap. Broken-down hand-rails over centuries-worn stone stairs. Pay for the privilege of taking photos of the view.
I visited this site as part of an organized tour. The castle has been well preserved since its original construction in 1637. Its well worth seeing colonial spanish architecture and walking through the Pirate museum. The chapel and the jails below are a must see aswell. I've posted some additional photos on my blog re: this site and others in Santiago De Cuba. http://planetblueadventure.com/2015/02/06/inside-cuba-cienfuegos-and-santiago
From up here you have some really stunning views across the city and the sea. The site itself is not very well maintained. The museum part is OK but not great.
Stunning location and vista of the Caribbean. Makes a great half day trip from the city. We met some interesting local artists selling sculpture.
I visited as part of an organised tour of Cuba, and therefore didn't have as much time here as I'd have liked. There is a small museum mainly devoted to pirates of the Caribbean - including Sir Francis Drake, who I have to admit I have never thought of as a pirate though I guess he was!! There are lots of souvenir stands outside, and also a restaurant - also with stunning views - that would have been a nice place to have lunch if we'd had time. Note that there are lots of steep steps in the castle which might be a problem for the less mobile.
The view, everything, from the tour ladies who gave me some interesting stories. Although some may try to hit you up something, they do it nicely. You can zcore some travel brochere shote and framers for freinds even if your a rookie, take your time and take in some angles, lay on the grass and shoot up (nothing will bite you, shake it up, enough bla picture like old home movies.
I'm not into history, so I just walked through this place quickly and walked back to the bus. There is no english on the signs or exhibits, so if this is your thing, hope your tour guide has been enlightened.
圣佩德罗德拉罗卡堡位于圣地亚哥附近的海岸上,这是一个有趣、历史意义重大的地方。我们花了7可兑换比索从Las Americas酒店打的去那。从城堡看景色很美。尝一尝附近餐馆的食物吧 - 很美味,开胃菜、主菜和甜点总共花费大约12可兑换比索。
Partially renovated, nice view of the bay, city and the airport. And of course the sea :)Bring plenty of water though...
