Castro Adobe Events

Help open this new State Park!

Castro Adobe is the first State Historic Park in the Pajaro Valley

Located at 184 Old Adobe Road, Watsonville, the two-story Rancho San Andrés Castro Adobe, built between 1848-49, is one of the finest examples of a rancho hacienda in the Monterey Bay area.
