The most thematic café in Bogotá: A tale of romance (the house of Betty la Fea)
If you’re a fan of the iconic telenovela “Betty la Fea” (Ugly Betty), Bogotá has a must-visit spot for you: the house where this famous series was filmed. However, beyond its television fame, this place has been the setting for a true love story that captures the essence of the novel.
An Unexpected Encounter
The story begins with an unexpected visit from Julia, an enthusiastic Peruvian fan of “Betty la Fea” (Ugly Betty). Miguel, a hardworking and dreamy man who lived in the house, spent his days alone, watching the hustle and bustle of Bogotá from his balcony. Julia’s arrival with a box of cookies broke Miguel’s monotony, triggering a genuine connection between them.
A Romance Born in the House
Julia, captivated by being on the iconic filming set, accepted Miguel’s invitation to explore the house. During the tour, they discovered a special spark, and the afternoon turned into the prelude to something more significant. Although Julia had to leave the next day, they decided to make the most of the remaining time, exploring the city and sharing an unforgettable night of dancing.
An Unexpected Outcome
After an emotional farewell at the airport and several nights of distress and solitude, Miguel confessed his love through a video call. To his joy, Julia shared his feelings and soon moved to Bogotá to be with him. The couple’s happiness grew when they found out they were expecting a child, although this joy was overshadowed by complications during childbirth that put Julia’s life at risk.
A Happy Ending
Miguel’s perseverance led to a happy ending: Julia safely gave birth to Miguel Ángel after an urgent surgical intervention. Their love, forged in the heart of Bogotá, proved to be as dramatic and moving as that of any telenovela.
Legacy of Love
Today, the house not only attracts fans of the novel but also symbolizes how true love can emerge in the most unexpected places. The house’s café, named Enamorados Café by the owners, offers visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the magic of this story.
