Doña María Gordillo Candy Store
Dulcería is the Spanish word for candy store and La Dulcería de Doña María Gordillo is probably the most famous candy store in Guatemala. The now-famous candy store has been reviewed and profiled in numerous magazines and newspapers. The land and house where is located the world-famous candy store has a history that begins in 1546, a little over 460 years ago. The candy shop, however, was established about 130 years ago. Here is the other side of the store.
Next to the candy jars, to your left, there is a magazine which has a photo of the candy store on the cover, can you tell me what the name of the magazine is? if you do and also tell me what the web address is for the magazine, I will send you a post card and a few postage stamps. Let the game begin!

Yo soy guatemalteca y vivo en los Estados Unidos. No frecuento Guatemala tanto como quisiera, por tanto extrano la comida y dulces guatemaltecos. Crei que al encontrar su web site iba a poder ordenar los famosos dulces guatemaltecos que ustedes vienen haciendo desde hace 70 anos. Para mi gran desilucion, ustedes lo que venden son dulces comunes y corrientes que yo puedo encontrar en los Estados Unidos sin problema alguno. Es mas, ni me interesan los dulces de ninguna parte, excepto los de Guatemala. Por tanto, quisiera saber por que ustedes no venden sus dulces tipicos por el Internet, pues yo estoy interesada en comprar los dulces. Estoy tan interesada que si ustedes no quieren venderlos por el Internet, talves yo podria hacerlo.
Sean tan amables de responderme a mi pregunta, por favor. Se los agradecere.
Cordialmente,
Brenda D Lemus
