Tostón Castle


Several days ago I revisited El Castillo del Tostón, a small fort perched on top of the cliff at E Cotillo, Fuerteventura.

It stands in a commanding position and is approached by a dusty track.

Toston Castle stands on the periphery of the village, dating from the late 16th century.

The roof-top is ascended by steep stone steps; whereas the ground floor, down more steps, has a modest gallery with exhibits and souvenirs for sale.

The entrance fee remains €1.50.

It's really quite a pleasant island - a few hippie types, "let-your-hair-all-hang-out kind of rot.

Pity re the weather, though. It's cloudy and slightly cool today, or so far at least!
