43.- The stone house in Las Virgenes

The stone house in Las Virgenes was built in 1880 and is still in family hands (an elderly lady who is a distant cousin lives there). It is also where my great-grandmother was born. I wanted to write my next novel there. It was to be called "Three Valleys". I also wanted to use it as a location in "Canto de Cuba". It would be the home of Consuelo de San Carlos, a girl from an old family who is prepared for the return of something that died a long time ago.
