Doña Eufracia Ovalles
Nearly a century ago, in the green hills outside Moca, a girl named Eufracia was born into a country that smelled of coffee, cane, and rain. She grew up barefoot in these same plantain rows — learned to cook over a fogón, to read the sky for weather, and to stretch a single chicken into a meal for a crowd.
She married, built a home with her own hands, and raised ten children on this land — ten distinct futures fed from the same pot of sancocho. The porch you'll rock on is where she nursed babies, mended clothes, and waved neighbors in for coffee. The river you'll swim in is the same river she carried water from as a girl.
"En esta casa nadie pasa hambre y nadie se va sin un abrazo."
Today, almost 100 years old, she is a great-great-grandmother. Ten children grew into more than forty grandchildren, who became over twenty great-grandchildren, who now welcome a handful of great-great-grandchildren of their own. Five generations — all rooted, somehow, in this one finca. When you stay here, you are her guest.
