Castillo, m., would be a castle or fort, forecastle on a ship, etc., but castilla sometimes means the same in southern Spain). Please give some details. Is there more to the title? Where is 'local'? Never heard of it in Santa Fe, where many Spanish and Mexican songs are sung. |

Could the song be related to one of these? Several local districts are also called 'Las castillas.' Without some details, one doesn't know where to look. |
