The Lighthouse at El Morro


I finally, finally get to El Morro, with a chance to finally climb up a lighthouse. Sadly, the ramparts and the lighthouse are closed today, possibly because of the book fair.

More great views

I get better pictures outside El Morro than from within.

Iglesia San Francisco de Asis

now a theatre and museum. We go to a concert here.

Note the trompe l'oeil wall at the back, replacing the part of the church destoyed by a flood in 1946.
