    Castillo de San Felipe (Pass By)

    Next to the gardens is San Felipe Castle. In fact, it was more of a base station where there is a display of monumental weapons which were used to ward off pirate attacks in the 17th century. Standing on the fortress, anyone seems to hear the echo of the turbulent past of the beautiful city.

    El Penon Del Fraile

    Just a stone’s throw away, stop by El Peñon del Fraile, built on a volcanic rock that is the present witness of an ancient eruption and the source of many interesting urban myths since a devout priest gave his wholehearted prayers here. The rock became so famous that it was turned into a structure with a cross and a side stairway for curious visitors.
