Francisco del Castillo Andraca
Francisco del Castillo, O. de M. or Francisco del Castillo Andraca was a Peruvian poet, writer and priest of the Order of Mercy. Not to be confused with his namesake Francisco del Castillo, SJ, also from Lima.
Blind from birth, he was known as El Ciego de La Merced, and was a talented poet who combined wit and humor in his verses. Ricardo Palma would make a short biography of him, in his Peruvian Traditions.
