Over a period of some 100 years or so the original watch tower was extended with further turrets and moats, into the structure you see today.

During the early 1960's a group of enthusiasts known as the "Friends of the Castles" embarked upon the project to restore the now almost derelict shell of the castle to it former stature.

In all the restoration took almost 2 decades to complete, and today the castle, along with the Museum of Emigration inside, is open to the public most mornings throughout the year from 10:00am.

Cueva de Los Verdes
The Cueva de Los Verdes, which translates into English as the "Green Cave", is part of a 6Km long lava tube which formed over 3,000 years ago when the Montaña La Corona last erupted.

Combined with the nearby Jameos del Agua, this is widely recognised as being one of the longest volcanic tunnels in the world.

In 1964 approximately 2km of the tunnel was opened to the public, following the installation of lighting to a design by Jesus Soto.

A special feature of the Cuevas de Los Verdes is an optical illusion that will be shown to you towards the end of the guided tour, which for obvious reasons we will not spoil the surprise here.
