The Wind and The Lion, the Name
Where did it come from? The former owners marketed organic produce with the name El Viento y El Lion. We do not know if they created the name. However, the inspiration for the name likely comes from the 1975 film, The Wind and the Lion, starring Sean Connery and
Candice Bergen.
Wikipedia summarizes the film:
“The Wind and the Lion is a 1975 American epic historical adventure film written and directed by John Milius, and starring Sean Connery, Candice Bergen, Brian Keith, and John Huston. The film is loosely based on the real-life Perdicaris affair of 1904. Connery plays Mulai Ahmed er Raisuli, a Moroccan Berber rebel and anti-imperialist leader, and Bergen plays his American hostage Eden Pedecaris, a fictional character inspired by Ion Hanford Perdicaris.”
All we can add is that it can indeed, get windy at the chacra. Not sure who or where the El Lion is.
