Welcome to El Castillito

At the foot of a mountain, beneath the shadow of a great and mighty castle, there nestled a little castle.

 

It was a happy little castle, complete with a sunny patio for animals, a deep well with clear, cold water, and a proud Gothic arch marking the way in.

 

For many years, the little castle cared for families.

It stood through fire, war, and the turning of time —

until the last grandmother was taken away,

and the last grandchild stopped visiting.

 

The little castle was no longer safe to live in.

Still, it stood.

Its walls crumbled, pigeons nested in its cracks, and the wind danced through broken windows.

 

One day, Darcie opened the door and peeked in.

The little castle felt embarrassed — crumbling, sagging, and silent.

But Darcie only saw a Castillito.

 

As she looked down the well and up at the arch,

she saw what Emilio and Emilio-Son would one day create.
