6 HIJO DE FAUSTO ORIA. COLONIAL GOODS AND GROCERIES

The business featured in this sixth installment of the Museum of Commerce Notebooks is still remembered by several generations of people from Salamanca, as it was open until the 1980s in the central Poeta Iglesias square (where Orejudo is now located). However, this was the last premises where the Oria family conducted their business, as, until 1927, when they moved to Poeta Iglesias square, their business already boasted more than forty years of history in the city. Throughout that time, Oria's colonial goods and grocery store was synonymous with quality and good taste. May this "booklet" serve as a well-deserved tribute to Don Alejo, Don Fausto, their family, and descendants. Ana Oria, great-granddaughter of the business founder, delicately pens the story of the store and her family. A beautiful text interwoven with her memories, which is also a sentimental journey through a Salamanca that is gradually disappearing.
