In this edition, Brendan talks with Irishman Patrick Fleming, owner of Aluna – Casa y Café, a popular hostel in Santa Marta. In the early 2000s, before opening his hostel, Patrick bought land in the secluded foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta with a view to developing it into a retreat.
Over the next few years he juggled his time between the hostel in the city and working on his farm-cum-rural retreat. Then, last year, just when he had the farm developed to the stage of being a sustainable venture, it was badly damaged in an arson attack by paramilitaries.
Here Patrick tells us how that came to pass and what his plans for the future are now.
***********
En esta edición, Brendan conversa con el irlandés Patrick Fleming, el dueño del Aluna – Casa y Café, un hostal popular en la ciudad de Santa Marta. A principios de los años 2000, Patrick compró una finca en las colinas aisladas de la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta con el objetivo de convertirlo en un retiro.
Durante los próximos años trabajó en ese proyecto, cultivando la tierra y construyendo alojamiento para una familia cuidadora local y cualesquiera futuros huéspedes. Sin embargo, justo cuando la finca se había convertido en una operación sostenible, fue gravemente dañado en un ataque incendiario por parte de paramilitares.
Patrick explica como occurrió y cuales son sus planes por el futuro después el ataque.
