    Pleasant little stop that gives you some history you might not have known otherwise about the island. Just wish there was a bit more to it. Also seemed like there was a good amount more to the fort interior that you dont see. Still, a good way to kill an hour.

    This is an old Spanish fortress. Canon's are still present. When we were there the museum was closed, but just walking around the grounds is lovely.
