Villa Mi Zahir Manual

Welcome!!!

Hosted by Miguel & Zahira

Waiting for your enjoyment and relaxation…

Villa Mi Zahir, a piece of land on the north coast of Camuy, facing the Atlantic Ocean, protected by the Peñón Amador… once you have seen it you can never forget it.

The Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, in his book El Aleph (1949), conceptualized the word zahir as, “something that once touched or seen is never forgotten and occupies our thoughts until it drives us crazy”. Inspired by this definition, the Brazilian writer, Paulo Coelho wrote the book El Zahir (2005).
