Another Beautiful Small Church
Well, in its simplicity, I am sure it used to be beautiful
The inside is now just full of ghosts and bird poop---still one Madonna on the wall.

He is such a curious dog---

Well, the bins Tom is looking into are full of trash! But at least it is more contained.

my favorite SR church story is about the night Zoe (bajaboy'd mama) decided to spend Halloween out in San Roque(famous for being a haunted village).
After a bottle of wine and around midnight we decided to brave going into the church...giggling, we gingerly stepped inside the door and got the sweet
Beejesus scared out of us as tons of pidgeons suddenly swarmed us!!!! We let loose some blood curdling screams sure to raise the dead! We then thought
we would scare the caretaker Chimbo and maybe even Zac & Juan who had gone to bed...by ringing the old church bell but the rope was gone so we
tried to throw rocks at it...which in our tipsy state wasn't exactly successful. So we gave up and continued our walk through the haunted village. At
the end of the road we saw a very weird apparition...a trailer up on the hill where there was no road....scary stuff...maybe the ghost car hauled it
in!

Anyone else see the "other" Madonna/Jesus in the peeling paint just above and to the left of the Madonna on the poster....Spooky

Not yet, but guess I need to go back and take more pictures inside---close up of that wall, it must be there. I also want a close up of the Madonna
on the wall. I really did not notice it until I looked at the picture.
It is easier to go inside right now as the pigeons are not nesting --I did try once when they were nesting and it was awful.
Baja99 it is San Roque a semi abandoned fishing fishing near Bahia Asuncion and a favorite spot of many people who visit here.

David, I think I figured it out... the front walls of this building stick out, thus covering the small window toward the front of the side will, where
in your photo you are taking a more direct angle. In mine that front wall covers it up.
Whoosh, now I feel a lot better.
