Don Marcos and his Sugar Mill (Don Marcos y su Trapiche)

Don Marcos Gallego has been in the Panela (traditional Colombian sugar) business all his life. In this short film he visits his "trapiche", (a water driven sugar mill) now run by his son Iván, and gives us a tour. You can almost smell the cane sugar juice as it caramelizes!

El trabajo duro convertido en dulce "
En un lugar de Caluma provincia de Bolívar - Ecuador Recuerdo mucho a mis abuelos y tías .
Las grandes factorías desplazaron al sistema artesanal de producción.
