Fuerte San Luis de Alba de Amargos
Fuerte de Amargos
A small Spanish battery on a cliff near Corral, reached by a forest trail that offers views over the river mouth and the Pacific. It is quiet, with few visitors.
Fuerte Amargos was built in the 18th century by the Spanish along the seaside cliffs and its batteries face the river mouth. Together with Niebla, Mancera, and Corral, it formed a crossfire defense network. The surviving stone walls and battery remains are set in a peaceful environment. It is about 3 km on foot along the coast from Corral, or you can take a taxi, and it can be combined with Corral fort for a half-day trip. Entry is free or charges a nominal fee.
