Old Jacinto was very famous for being a great narrator of legends, the gauchos of the area were coming to the grocery store to drink and listen to Jacinto's anecdotes.

Don Jacinto had been born in a place called the crossroads, about 20 kilometers from Empedrado, going along the dirt road to Mburucuyá, the landscape of the crossroads is very characteristic for its sandy hills, palm groves, estuaries, lagoons, rivers and The very famous glen, "Fragosa", had as its neighbor the mother of Don Cornelio, the Seamstress, Don Juan the hunter, the crow eats meat, there were other neighbors that I will appoint as the legends progress.

The immigrant father bought a small plot to live with his wife, Don Tiburcio was very hardworking, with his savings he bought land until he owned a large field, the house was a colonial house, with roofs of tiles imported from Spain, that the same Father of Don Jacinto I send them to bring.

The owner of La Periquita was a close friend of Jacinto, so when he became a widower, he spent all day in the grocery store, because of his photographic memory, he won the title of popular narrator of legends.

Don Jacinto was born because of the need to extend a short legend of my payments, playing with this character gives me the possibility of telling a story that has three lines.

The characters have some relation with the real life, with my person or a place where I was.

The name of Jacinto Rolon was the founder of the City of Goya Corrientes, "Fumando Espero" is a general branch store I met in the City of Goya, "The Doom" is located at the entrance of an Adventist town of Puilgari, in The people are very strict with their customs, inside they do not smoke, they do not drink, they do not eat meat, but if you go to this place "The bane", you find cigarettes, whiskey, meat, sells everything banned from town, in Honor to this the name of the place "the perdition".
The character narrator of stories I met in the federal capital, in a bar of the station of eleven, a provincial who spent all day in the bar of the station, was very famous for counting legends from the interior of the country, This man is called Luis Gómez, in the inspire me to create the character "El Viejo Jacinto"
