I enjoyed this article on El Museo Castillo Serralles very much. We, my husband and I attended a beautiful wedding there about 14 years ago. We enjoyed the Ponce area and the weather is wonderful. Thank you for sharing this web site with us.

I am taking the family to P.R. in November and they are asking if there is a museum which describes or shows pirate activities. Please tell me if your museum reflects pirate activities of the past or if there is another different museum with this subject. Thank you very much. Carol Mauter

How did your journey of discovery go? I am mixed with some African heritage and will be visiting PR in November from Seattle. I traced my ancestors a few years back and found a fondness for PR.

Is casa blanca closed for renovation? We are thinking of a trip in November - my wife's father was an army general and she lived in casa blanca as a kid - we would like to make sure the museum is open before we schedule our trip. Thanks, Peter beck

Hi there, I'm very much interested in the African roots. I just found out that my Gr. Gr. mother was Negro. I would like to know about her. She was from Carolina, P.R. Thank you, Aida
