Wander the streets where Columbus (after he swam ashore after a pirate attack) and his brother worked as chart makers. Scale the hill where the old castle St. George stands where Columbus made his first pitch to go west and where he first returned in 1493 on the batterered tiny Nina, only to be taken in custody by Dias ( of around the Cape fame ) on a big war ship and taken up ...
