If you visit Atalaya Castle with the idea that you will find a well-restored museum this is not the case. It is more like happening on a deserted castle from another era and although still beautiful with well tended grounds and giant palmettos there is a feeling of being lost.
Often there are volunteers available for guided tours but to experience the full effect of the castle itself go early in the morning, and wander its many winding corridors and cavernous rooms alone. This is a place were magnificent art was created and the creative spirit that still breathes in Atalaya Castle. |
