The store is replenished regularly, but only in

tourists arrive
The years go by, the Botìa grows, transforms and enlarges, but continues to be a point of reference for anyone who passes by.
The state road also opens in the winter months, slowly bringing ski tourism. La Botìa is the background to this transition. Villagers and adventurers continue to rely on her and she satisfies everyone, without distinction.
