| "Haciendas were the landed estates of old Mexico, some with territories as large as Belgium. They were created under a system established in the sixteenth century, which bestowed land to conquistadores in exchange for military and social services to the crown. As the Haciendado acquired more land and Haciendas grew, they became feudal estates supplying the needs of the surrounding community". |

Every suite different, through every window the mountains and sky. |
