In Mexican cities the church is always situated in the center of the action - usually just to the side of the main square - where they are able to accommodate many daily services and leave their doors open to those in need of a quiet refuge. It is rare to find a church empty, but that was exactly the case when we were wandering around San Sebastian few weeks ago. While I sat and soaked in the peace, Tamar wandered around snapping photos of the beautiful space. I love how graphic, and almost garish, the decor is - exhibiting 3-D scenes of torture and piousness set in and opulent and ornate backdrop.
