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.
