About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most gas stations are quiet, Estación de Servicio Sonseca came alive with an unusual routine. A delivery driver would arrive, but instead of unloading goods, he’d chat with the owner for hours, leaving boxes untouched. Finally, someone from the company headquarters called asking what was taking so long. The owner replied, ‘Oh, they’re just finishing up their morning coffee and catching up on local gossip.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that sometimes the best deliveries are those made in friendly conversation.

2. One morning, while a little girl played nearby, the pumps at Estación de Servicio Sonseca started humming like bees. Curious, she approached and found herself staring into the glowing eyes of the fuel nozzles. Suddenly, one nozzle wiggled its tip and said ‘Gasolina!’ in a squeaky voice. The girl giggled, thinking it was just an old mechanic having fun. That day, Estación de Servicio Sonseca became famous for its talking gas pump, attracting curious visitors from miles around—until someone noticed the sign above read “Sonseca Gasoline Services.”

3. At sunset, when most gas stations close their doors, Estación de Servicio Sonseca opened its windows wide. The owner, an old man known only as Don Juanito, started humming softly as he polished each pump handle. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and asked for directions to nowhere in particular. Don Juanito smiled and said, 'Just follow your heart!' The driver drove off, and an hour later, returned with a bag of cookies. 'For you,' he said, 'for keeping the road so… magical.' And from that day on, Estación de Servicio Sonseca became more than just a gas station—it was a place where dreams were filled with gasoline and cookie crumbs.

4. At midnight, when most gas stations sleep, Estación de Servicio Sonseca welcomed a strange visitor—a ghostly figure in an old uniform appeared near the cash register. The ghostly figure whispered, ‘Fill ’er up with memories!’ and vanished as quickly as it came. The next morning, the attendant found an old coin on the counter—just enough for a cup of coffee across the street.
