A little bit of history
Coffee has always been a decisive product in the economic and social history of Costa Rica . It allowed the country to insert itself into the global economy and develop an economy based on small and medium enterprises which created a social fabric sustained by the principle of solidarity, as well as a broad base of campesinos (small farmers) that are so characteristic of this beautiful county. The oldest democracy in Latin America is based on the production and the development of the technology necessary to produce coffee of the highest quality, today highly recognized throughout the world. The expansion of the coffee business goes hand in hand with the export of the "golden grain" to Europe; with it comes a surge in prosperity, in a time when the capital extended itself to Paseo Colon, back then the principal avenue of San José . As the capital experienced the inevitable "modernization", many architectonic jewels that could be found in this avenue were replaced by concrete buildings, leaving behind the memories of a charming past that today can only be appreciated in faded photographs.
