Agua Mineral en Las Lomas de Guira - 1918
Agua Mineral en Las Lomas de Guira - 1918
Article published in el Diario de La Marina (Havana Newspaper). Mentions high quality mineral water and the hills of Guira de Macuriges. This of course is the area where the Rio Blanco Farm is located. This article is for the sake of trivia only and I don't believe it has any association with Rio Blanco itself. I never heard any family talk of mineral water. I do recall a small river near Rio Blanco with very clear water, so it does make the spring plausible.

Santa Rosalia Farm - listed on History Book from 1894
Santa Rosalia Farm - listed on History Book from 1894
We do not have information of when my family acquired this farm. A safe estimate on the date would be early 1930's. I say this because there are three family births that happened on this farm. They were all in the 1930's. An interesting note from the historical listing is that the owner in 1894 lived in the City of Matanzas, address is 23 Contreras. This location is near where my grandfather (I020 Antonio Jose Viera Sosa) would purchase the grocery store La Vina in 1959. The funds to purchase La Vina came from his earnings on the farm. He was very much an entrepreneur; La Vina was the third business he purchased.
