[edit] Plot
The telenovela tells the story of Maria Salomé, a young and stunning gypsy woman, played by Mexican actress Ana de la Reguera, who falls in love with a "gayó" (a non-gypsy man), Sebastián, played by Colombian actor Manolo Cárdona. From the moment they meet in the fishing village of Malaribo (Baja California), it is love at first sight. However, their love is forbidden by the gypsy code and judged because of the racism that exists against Maria's culture.
Other important characters include Salomé's grandfather (El Patriarca) and her mother Jovanka, Rafael Domínguez, Doña Victoria Domínguez, Mama Pasca, Jonás (Erick Elias) and his father Drago, Padre Domínguez, and Salomné's sisters Sachenka and María Magdalena, as well as the iconic image of Santa Sara (Saint Sarah).
