Cien años de soledad

La Patrona is a Spanish-Language telenovela produced by Telemundo, and is a remake of the 1984 Venezuelan telenovela La duena, which was inspired by the novel The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas. It was created by Valentina Parraga, written by Eduardo Macias, and directed by Víctor Herrera McNaught. From January 8, 2013 to July 9, 2013, Telemundo aired La Patrona weeknights at 9pm/8c for a total of 127 episodes, replacing Corazón Valiente. It was nominated for and won many awards during and after its run on the network, such as the Premios Tu Mundo for Novela of the Year in 2013, and the Premios Tu Mundo for the Perfect Couple Award in the same year (“La”).

This telenovela tells the story of a woman named Gabriella Suarez, a young, single-mother, working in a mine to support her only son, David.

After the second husband, Marcelo Vidal dies, the town is in a state of panic with no one to take over…
