Their relationship lived on through the cocktails he experimented with and the paintings she drew. But their love story was short-lived: Jose believed too strongly in the rebels’ cause and joined them in their fight for the people, losing his life on the battlefield. Heartbroken, and wanting to keep his memory and their love alive, Dahlia opened up bars called “Garcia’s” all over the world. Years
later, Jose was found alive, but in a cruel twist of fate, his Dahlia was gone. Jose set out on a quest to find his one true love, instead stumbling upon the bars she peppered around the world in his honor. Dahlia’s love lives on through “Garcia’s” and Jose’s through his never-ending quest to find her. Some believe this story to be true. Others say that Jose Garcia never actually existed, that he was simply a man of fiction created by excited storytellers narrating the tale of a rebel hero who took on armies to save people from dictatorship and oppression; a man of the people who helped everyone on his way. In reality, Jose Garcia is whoever you want him to be; he’s everybody and nobody at the same time. His true identity is yours to create, yours to imagine. He’s simply Jose Garcia.
