Segorbe, Valencia, October 6, 1907

Lola left her house for the port of Cadiz in the company of María, her nine-month-pregnant sister, Jaime, her brother-in-law, and her three nephews. The Spanish Transatlantic Company ship would set sail the following week for the New World, taking his only family with him. Lola, with the savings of a lifetime, gave them the tickets.

That same night, while they were saying goodbye, Maria began labor. The room was filled with uncertainty. At dawn, an ominous cry announced the death of mother and son. Three days after the funeral, Jaime, Lola and the three children embarked for America.

María’s children grew up, married three sisters and made their fortune in Mexico City. In the forties, Lola ran one of the many family businesses: the hat factory; very close, he installed his residence in the rationalist-style house that his nephews built for him in the recently inaugurated Colonia Roma.

Today, CASA LOLA opens its doors to visitors from different parts of the world who wish to fully experience the revival of this old metropolitan neighborhood, in a vibrant, warm and comfortable environment.
