“A slice of history ”
THe castle is restored the later years and it was interesting to hear the story about the bay and the castle/fort. Nice view to the entrance of the bay.

“...pulling up the bridge.... ”
the fort has some nice little exhibitions going on.....you need to speak spanish though....or take one of the english speaking guides. The spectacular thing we did and made it worth the visit fro sure: we pulled up the bridge and brought it back down! Just ask the lady at the entrance, probably you may have a go also!

“Arduous but interesting trek ”

“great old place to see ”
We really enjoyed the ferry ride across the channel and the walk up to the castle. It was an interesting slice of history. It is being restored at the present time (I think that is true almost everywhere) things take a little time in cuba. It was interesting to see the old fort and roam around inside it with little...

“Don't rely on the ferry from town! ”
Makes a good trip if you combine with the beach, but I think a bit of trek just for itself. Amazing views give you a real sense of the importance of this bay in history. We went to the beach by taxi and planned to return by boat to town, to discover it had been out of action for weeks,... More 

“Jagua Castle ”
We stayed at Rancho Luna. There is a bus that takes you to the ferry dock at Pasacaballo. Jagua Castle is nice, not as big as the one in Santiago de Cuba or Havanna, but still nice.

“The jam-packed ferry ride is half the fun ”
Interesting Spanish fort...if it's your first or second one. Museum is OK. Ate homemade lunch on the waterfront while waiting for return ferry & wandered through dirt streets away from town.

“Sunset views ”
The beautiful sunset viewed from the rooftop terrace while listening to a live salsa band. Priceless. Buy the bands cd and bring home the memories

“Enjoyed the tour ”
We had to take a boat over to this castle and the receptionist that worked there gave us a tour and the history; it was amazing to see that this was the only castle in Cuba to still use a drawstring to close and open the castle.

“We Made Our Own Tour ”
Due to a comedy of errors with a cheap watch we had a hard time to make the ferry which is a definate fun part of the trip, the 1CUP charge and the freindliness of the the Cuban people made it a great adventure. The Castillo is under renovation and you can pay to have the tour guide or walk... More
