Castillo San Felipe Del Morro

Ya pasaron las Navidades y es nuestro ultimo día aquí – no podemos dejar pasar la oportunidad de ir a el Castillo San Felipe Del Morro. Castillo San Felipe del Morro era bien importante para España cuando controlaba a Puerto Rico. Protegía a Puerto Rico de los piratas que trataban de entrar a nuestra Isla y robar el tesoro Español.  España logró retener el control de Puerto Rico por casi 400 años hasta la Guerra hispanoamericana en 1898  - luego de esta, Puerto Rico pasa a manos de Estados Unidos. Las fotos que he incluído aquí estan un poco oscuras porque las tome con mi teléfono y el día estaba oscuro y con mucho viento. Quién era el pirata más famoso de Puerto Rico?

Christmas was over and we had come to our last day in Puerto Rico, so we decided to go back to Old San Juan and visit the Castillo san Felipe Del Morro. El Morro had a very important function – to protect Puerto Rico from plundering pirates going into the Eastern Caribbean. They would try to stop to replenish provisions and plunder the Spanish gold that was kept in San Juan. Spain managed to retain control of the fort until the Spanish-American war in 1898. After this war, Puerto Rico passed on to be a territory of the United States. The pictures that I am including were taken on a rainy, dark and windy day, they are a little dark because I took them with my phone. Who was the most famous Puerto Rican pirate?
