morada de talpa

 

 

The places names in Talpa are bigger than the town.  We ventured along Highway 518 to see the church - San Juan de los Lagos.  On the way we saw the Nuestra Senora del Carmen Cemetery, but it was too muddy and weedy to explore.  The cemetery has a chapel and morada -- a sanctuary  where the devotions of La Hermandad or Penitentes are practiced.

On the way to Our Lady of San Juan de los Lagos Church and the Talpa cemetery, we passed Paul's Bar.  Turns out this place was the most photogenic place on this leg of the trek.
