If you’ve ever eaten a fresh tortilla in San Juan del Sur it’s likely it was made by Doña Ramona “Moncha” Lanzas. Ramona – better known by her nickname “Moncha” – has been making tortillas by hand for 36 years!
In this video Kathleen Brugger of Time Capsule Video gives us a behind the scenes look at a day in the life of Moncha.
You can find Moncha one block South of Casa Oro Eco Hostel. If you’re in the area stop by, say hello and grab a fresh tortilla or two. You’ll be hard-pressed to find better elsewhere!
Thank you for this video!! Watching it made me so, so homesick for San Juan del Sur.
