My buddy was involved with the restoration of the town.

The fort is real.

The town uses the original foundations of Spanish buildings; however, the "restored" buildings have nothing in common with what the Spanish built.

The "restoration" was based on the French Quarter in NOLA.

It's fun - but, don't assume you are having a historical experience.

BTW - my graduate degree is in Latin American history so my opinion is based on scholarship - not, rumor. Still, enjoy.
