Entrance to Finca Las Ilusiones
The photo above shows what a typical entrance to a coffee plantation looks like. Finca Las Ilusiones is just south of El Calvario church, on the Walter Williams road. Finca is the Guatemalan Spanish word for plantation or farm. The small door is for the workers, the large door for the coffee plantation owner; there is so much more traffic through the small door. In terms of efficiency, logic does not apply here.

Lessie, it is quite a sight for sure. One can see coffee trees on either side of the drive way.
Coltrane lives, thanks for you visits. Coltrane is one my favorites. I normally listen to KKJZ from Long Beach, California. As a matter of fact that is what I am listening right now.

Finca is also the Spanish word used here too and basically applies to any estate of land; from smallholding, through farm and plantation, to the rolling acres around a mansion, regardless of use.
