"What is it: Known to locals as the “Wishing Shrine,” legend has it that El Tiradito (located at 400 South Main Avenue) is the grave of a young sheepherder named Juan who was murdered as a result of a love triangle back in the 1870s. Meaning “the castaway,” El Tiradito is said to be the only shrine in the country that is dedicated not to a saint or religious leader but to, as the plaque reads, “a sinner buried in unconsecrated ground.”. Why go: People visit to say prayers, light candles and leave a “milagro” (a small religious charm)."

"An 1870's love triangle ended in murder and is now the site of a shrine. This soap opera-like tale focuses on the death of an adulterous young man who was in love with his mother-in-law. The tale ends in tragedy for all, and the young ranch hand was buried on the site of the shrine, where he was brutally murdered by his father-in-law."

"As a young boy in Istanbul, Savaya Coffee Market owner Burc Maruflu grew up learning coffee from his grandmother, Neriman, an expert connoisseur of the craft. President and founding father of Turkey, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, frequented her town throughout his legendary life and constantly assured everybody that she indeed brewed the best coffee he had ever had. But java has even deeper roots in the family, as Burc’s many-times-great-grandfather traded coffee and mastered the art of roasting in the mid-1500s, becoming the sole supplier to Sultan Solomon the Magnificent of the Ottoman Empire."
