Once you visit the fort of San Christobal you will notice at the very peak of a Hilltop a magnificent view of the Castle, the largest of all forts built in the Americas, but from above if you face down, these astounding views on the waves pounding against the rampart. Just stand still and remain calm, is a site like no other ever seen. The sound loud enough from the waves are heard from high above. Just imagine the continues pondering of TradeWinds, when sailing ships known as caravels, The story of the three caravels, La Nina, La Pinta, La Santa Maria sailed by Christobal Columbus, the Italian Navigator, explorer from Genova Italy, yes, the man who dared to cross the Atlantic bravely and who discovered the island of Puerto Rico in On November 19th, 1493.
The History of Puerto Rico, when the Spanish Soldiers defended the San Juan Bay, the show of heroism and gallantry of Spanish defenders who fought on the grounds to the sound of victory. They defended the island of San Juan Bay with valor, honor and pride for the Cross of Burgundy. Those who guarded from the Look-out towers called "Garitas", calmy waited for the right moment to launch their weapons, discharge their muskets.
Yes, just imagine when the tell-tale stories of fallen soldiers injured by explosives. When Spanish soldiers fought through sweat and tears. The Agonizing moments and outcry when their lives have been shattered by wounds suffered through the hands of enemies. Yes, history as daunting, but very real as our past should never be forgotten.
Close your eyes and listen the blast of the cannonballs bursting through the walls. La Loma de Los Vientos will transport you to a time of the past. It embodies something far more beyond than just Vistas. Just imagine, The Tell-tale stories of carcasses lying in the ground resulting from the exchange of gun fire, The sound of voices emanating from the Underground Tunnels were Spanish soldiers attempted to block enemy Access. Events that happened during Spanish Colonial time that perhaps we might not ever know.
