Currita & Paloma

February 8, 2017

This is the story of Currita&Paloma, the owners of Huerto de Lucas, an organic market we love, with carefully selected products. 100% organic food of the highest quality. Beneficial for health and environmental conservation.

Currita came into Paloma's life because her father gave her to Paloma when she was only 2 months old; she was the daughter of a friend's dog.

Currita became unique and wonderful in a short time, the best thing in the world for Paloma:
– “It makes me very happy to share everything with her. She is a very intelligent dog and adapts to any place she goes with me. She is well-behaved and calm when she needs to be (when she's in public :)), and transforms when she is off-leash in the countryside, following her terrier instincts.

Paloma is an equine veterinarian, and Currita got used to accompanying Paloma to work in the countryside. So when Paloma opened El Huerto de Lucas, Currita went from spending all day in the countryside to living in the city. It wasn't easy, but since she is a very smart dog, she adapted perfectly. She has earned everyone's affection and greetings because she is so affectionate, funny, and well-behaved.

She has won over many customers with her famous “Curra Show” (she jumps through a hoop, you pretend to shoot her and she plays dead, sits like a little person, rolls over, jumps when you ask her to, etc…)

We asked Paloma whether Currita is the reason El Huerto is dog friendly, and this is what she told us: El Huerto is a unique project in Spain where we look after our health through food that is 100% organic, in a chemical-free environment. But not only our health - also that of our best friends. So, of course, well-behaved dogs are welcome, all thanks to Currita! I think animals should be respected and that, as long as they behave well, they should be allowed into every place in Spain. Many countries already show this respect for animals. Our customers can come for breakfast, lunch, dinner, a snack, or to shop with their dogs.
