The difficulties of their living conditions makes me grateful of how easy our modern lives have become. Living in a paradise like Costa Rica, we are surrounded by nature which is the real attraction of this dynamic country but behind all the natural beauty, each little village in this diverse country has a story waiting to be told.
Take Grecia for example. Grecia was officially founded on April 27, 1838 and declared a city on August 6, 1903, but what more do we know about Grecia?
As it turns out, before the early 1800's, the majority of the Central Valley to west of Alajuela and the Poas River was uncharted territory. At that time, the major settlements in Costa Rica were Cartago, San Jose, Heredia and Alajuela. Between 1780 and 1820 the Costa Rican government began offering land grants to settlers who would venture into virgin territory and tame the wild jungle transforming them into inhabitable settlements.
