Rosa Ramirez had worn her hair like a protective curtain for most of her life, a 1.5-meter river of dark strands that brushed her calves and sometimes tangled beneath her feet.

Behind the iconic smile and decades of fame is a man who has deliberately built a sanctuary where family comes first and ego has no place.

The air smelled of salt and something darker as we stepped closer, curiosity wrestling with unease. It looked like a creature from a nightmare: stretched out like a snake, its bloated end distorted by the sea.
