My wife is from about a klick north on the road, and, as an Irish Catholic, this Church made me feel the majesty that a church should make us feel. The Old Churches make me feel all “squishy” inside; the newer ones make me want to nap.

Hi marketmanila,

Thanks for linking me.

Anyway, the church is actually a transition between stone and concrete.

When the church was about to be finished, concrete was introduced thus the builders made use of it since it was cheaper and easier to work with.

This is the reason why the facade of the church looks quite contemporary at the topmost part.

My wife is from that town, and I have been in there quite a few times. I love the old Spanish style churches, and find it must easier to make a spiritual connection in there than I do in alot of the more modern American churches. Alot of the newer ones seem like they should be bingo parlors rather than a place to connect with God.

luke, if you bothered to do a simple check of the archives, you would see that I have visited several of those other sites you mentioned…

I can just imagine the magnitude of neck pain those painters most probably had … :)
