Today we are following up on the doorways of Rincon theme with this image of #23 C. Union. The street just off the Plaza to the east is Calle Union. I don't know what the name derives from but it is the kind of street name that is rather common in the U.S., and union in Spanish also means "union" in English.
In the photograph, one can see the strong wooden double doors of #23 C. Union. Not shown are the windows with iron grates. I like the colors and the hand drawing and lettering. The shop is a Colmado and Cafetin... or a small shop that serves some limited food selection and some simple can goods. The front wall features a ground instant coffee called "Rioja." The name of the establishment is "Union" and the proprietor is Eddie Caro. I took this image around Thanksgiving time and you can see decorative lighting and a red Christmas ball.
There are actually a range of shops in the Plaza and just off it. These include several restaurants, a small department store, a surf shop and a hairdresser and a cleaner among others. No banks any more, sadly , as they have moved to very contemporary stand-alone structures on Calle 115, the road leading into town, well away from the plaza and center of town
