The History of La Ventana: Remembering Guillermo Lucero - by Tom Spradley. In January 2000, my wife and I began our first winter in La Ventana, lured by our son Bruce, who had found the village a few years earlier looking for a good place to windsurf. We came for the warm winter weather, beautiful scenery, star-studded night sky, and to meet other venturesome gringos from the north, some two dozen at the most. Then, I hired my son’s friend Guillermo to help me clear the property I bought in El Sargento. He became my friend, gardener, guide to the rhythms of village life, and patient Spanish teacher. Through his quiet wisdom and easy laughter, he opened a window into the heart of Baja Sur, offering companionship and a deeper understanding of the place we both called home. This story is a tribute to the man who taught me far more than words. Read on…
