    • 1997 January 19, Robert W. Boyd, “Coming to Visit”, in soc.culture.‎ (Usenet):
      The beaches are beautiful but the people even more so and I think you will come away with a lot more from your visit if you venture outside the tourist districts. Make an effort to get into the poorer areas which lie on the outskirts of the big cities and spend a day at a colmado.
    • 2010, David Himmelgreen, The Global Food Crisis, page 64:
      Flexibility, fairness, and amicability with customers were extremely important qualities of a successful colmado. At least one colmado in Santa Lucia suffered significant business losses because of development of a reputation for unfairness and inflexibility. The successful long-term capturing of household income by a colmado, largely a byproduct of solid credit relations, directly impacted the colmado's ability to remain in good standing with suppliers with whom they often held debt.
