More than a century ago, Don Manuel Ariz left Galicia, in Spain, and arrived in Concepción de Ataco, in Ahuachapán, in an area known by its inhabitants as the place of "high springs". Señor Ariz then had the brilliant idea of investing in small plots of land nearby, starting with 13.5 hectares of excellent clay-limestone terroir, which today make up the Villa Galicia estate.
This 12-hectare farm, owned by Mauricio Salaverria, is located on the "Route of Flowers". Mauricio has invested in an organic processing plant on his Villa Galicia estate and has mastered the coffee preparation process to perfection.

Mauricio is the right person to talk to if you want to talk to an expert on microlots ! Innovative in his coffee preparation processes, very careful and, above all, always smiling. Mauricio devotes all his efforts to being a producer who respects both the environment and his workers. His high level of expertise allows him to offer a very wide range of coffees and he skilfully juggles the different varieties and processes. When you taste his coffees, you sense a beautiful subtlety. We work on his estates Villa Galicia, Himalaya and Cruz Gorda, as well as the plots El Divisadero and El Copo! With Mauricio, the possibilities are endless!
