Great piece of history in such a beautiful harbor with sandy beach. Ocean boats leaving for tours and great restaurants In the 18th century, the archipelago's commanding general at the time, Andrés Bonito y Pignatelli, ordered military engineer Claudio de L'Isle to build a tower to defend the area against pirates who operated from France, England and North Africa (Barbary pirates). Bonito y Pignatelli, who also built Torre de Tostón in the coastal town of El Cotillo, died in 1743.

Historical three hundred years old tower building by the first Spanish conquistadors landed in Fuerteventura Canary Islands. Located by the coast. Unfortunately the tower was closed during my visit to Fuerteventura. Highly recommended to visit because it is only one of the few historical places in Fuerteventura.

This historic tower was within the holiday resort I was staying in. I was fascinated to learn it's around 300 years old, and it was built to defend against pirates. I wonder what the people from back then would make of its surroundings now!

El sitio es muy bonito, se puede acceder al castillo a través de los paseos que hay, pero nosotras entramos a través del hotel lujos que está justo allí, de hecho pensé que el castillo era del hotel, porque está al lado de la piscina.... Pero luego a través del paseo puedes llegar al castillo, subir las escaleras y hacerte las fotos de rigor.... Nosotros tocamos la puerta pero nadie nos abrió😜.... Nos hubiera encantado verlo por dentro, pero bueno, este tipo de recursos históricos solo con verlos ya te traslada al paso para imaginarte lo que aquí se podía vivir.... Al lado hay un puerto y una playa, que es de arena blanca, pero no yo vi las aguas tan verde turquesa como dice otra gente.

Piccola fortificazione catalogata come bene di interesse culturale. Venne progettata dall'ingegnere Claudio de L'Isle (lo stesso del Castillo del Tostón) all'inizio del XVIII secolo per proteggersi dagli attacchi dei pirati. E' di pianta circolare, e si può accedere all'interno attraverso una scala in pietra su cui è sostenuto un ponte levatoio con catene di ferro, una volta era equipaggiato di due cannoni in ferro di piccolo calibro. A vederlo adesso fa abbastanza tenerezza, soprattutto vedendo il contesto super turistico costruito attorno

A ver, más que un Castillo podría decirse que es una torre fortificada, muy cercana a la playa y rodeada de hoteles de lujo. La verdad es que es uno de los sitios que da un toque histórico a este pueblecito. Es una pena que esté cerrado y no se pueda visitar su interior por pequeño que sea, pues podría albergar algún pequeño museo o algo por el estilo. En mi caso, tras las fotos de rigor, pude cazar algún Pokémon y combatir en el gimnasio pokemon que está ahí mismo, virtual, claro. :-)
