Eustorgio Ecuador is 60 years old and single. He lives in his own house in los Bajos de Montecristi, a city that is well-known for its handicrafts made from toquilla straw, wicker, piquigua [a tropical rain-forest plant fiber used for weaving] and wood, but especially for its fine toquilla straw hats, known throughout the world as Panama hats.
