Meet Curaçao’s most famous beverage vendor.
Day in, day out, you’ll see him tirelessly bustling around the busy Brievengat intersection in Willemstad; from morning till night, in the blazing sun, on the hot asphalt: Rolando Adriana – a friendly, tall, young man with deep black skin, a radiant smile with dazzling white teeth, and his hair held back by dreadlocks. Whenever the traffic light turns red, the countdown begins: He strides briskly through the lines of cars, red-light cycle after red-light cycle, trying to get his wares to the drivers in the allotted time. And to his numerous regular customers. Because Rolando is as much a part of the Brievengat intersection as the Emma Bridge is to Willemstad. Always friendly, always in good spirits!
