 Costa Rica Provinces
This interior province consists primarily of the Reventazón River valley and the surrounding high mountains to the north (Irazú and Turrialba Volcanoes) and south (Cerro de la Muerte and Mount Chirripó) and is situated practically entirely on the Atlantic side of the continental divide.
Spanish settlement of Guanacaste was slow since most of the colonization from 1563 onwards was concentrated in the Central Valley and there was very little native labor force left in the lowlands to be employed in farming activities.
Although the entire province lies on the Pacific side of the continental divide, much of its land area is not as severely affected by the annual dry season as is most of Guanacaste province (just to the north on the same side of the country).

 historical notes on spanish gypsies
The Spanish gypsy population might be as high as 500,000.
Settlements were broken up, gypsies were required to marry non-gypsies, and they were denied their language and rituals as well as well being excluded from public office and from craft membership.
The more rhythmical flamenco forms from this area evidence the predominance of gypsies in the cante flamenco (flamenco song) or more precisely the cante hondo (deep song) - these are the more difficult styles to interpret in flamenco today, and styles in which the gypsies reign supreme.
