The Churches of San Miguel
Churches of San Miguel
Of the many influences that have shaped Mexican culture over the years, arguably the biggest and most prevalent force has been that of the Catholic Church. Catholicism has been the dominant religion in Mexico ever since the Spanish began to inhabit and convert the indigenous people. So it can be expected that a lot of time, money, and consideration would go into their places of worship, and in the town of San Miguel this was no exception.
La Parroquia de San Miguel Arcángel, or the parish church of San Miguel is one of the most unique churches in all of Mexico and is one of the distinguishing landmarks of the town. Its beauty, unique architecture, and grandeur have made it one of the most photographed churches throughout Mexico. La Parroquia de San Miguel was originally constructed in the 17th century with a traditional Mexican façade. However, in 1880 when Zeferino Gutierrez renovated the exterior of the church, it was built with a neo gothic exterior and two towers, which allow it to be visible from almost every part of San Miguel. Yet, the inside of the church is still decorated with its original 17th century design and layout. One significant image located within the church is the Señor de la Conquista crucifix, which was constructed by the indigenous people of the region during the time when the church was being built. There are also murals located within the church that tells the story of the founding of the city of San Miguel in 1542.
Juan Antonio Perez Espinosa built the Oratorio de San Felipe Neri Church in 1712. This church was partially built by using a former chapel and adding on to the existing structure. The exterior is constructed from pink sandstone and was made in the in Baroque style of architecture, which is made evident, by the use of abundant vegetative decoration. However, the ornamental work of the door and wall has evidence of indigenous influences.
Luis Felipe Neri built the Nuestra Señora de la Salud Church, or Our Lady of Good Health in the 18th century. The church is very unique because the door wall is shaped to resemble a large seashell.
The San Francisco Church was begun in 1778 and was finished more two decades later. It possesses two distinct and separate architectural styles. Churrigueresque, which is noted for its use of stone figures and fine columns, and the more traditional neo classical style which incorporates tall columns and a symmetrical design. The combination of these two architectural styles has produced a very unique design for the San Francisco Church. Architect Francisco Eduardo Tresguerras constructed the bell tower in 1799 in the neoclassical style. However, in the original plans there were supposed to be two bell towers but due to a war and therefore a lack of funds only one could be constructed.
The Sanctuary of Atotonilco is a church complex and a World Heritage Site, located just outside o San Miguel. Father Luis Felipe Neri de Alfaro built it in the 18th century. Perhaps the most notable feature of the sanctuary is the highly detailed and decorative mural work the lines the interior of the church. Antonio Martinez de Pocasangre was the artist who painted all the murals and it took him over 30 years to complete his work of art. The high quality of the mural work has lead to Atotonilco being called the Sistine Chapel of Mexico. Atotonilco still attracts as many as 5,000 visitors every week, and the complex remains a place of worship as well as site that hosts spiritual retreats for pilgrims.
While each church is unique and has its own style and design, most churches share a similar interior layout. Inside most churches you can find extravagant painting, detailed woodcarvings, exceptional metal work, grand murals, and sometimes the burial places of past clergy.
It is nearly impossible to understand Mexican culture without first understanding the great importance that religion plays in their lives, and one of the best ways to see that is through their churches, especially the churches of San Miguel.

San Miguel de Allende Travel Guide - Exploring Unique Mexico
San Miguel de Allende Travel Guide - Exploring Unique Mexico
San Miguel de Allende is a small colonial town in the Bajio mountains of central Mexico, about 170 miles northwest of Mexico City. Founded as San Miguel in 1542 by a San Franciscan Monk named San Miguel El Grande, it became a centerpiece in the war for Mexican independence from Spain; it was renamed San Miguel de Allende after Ignacio Allende, a hero of the independence movement. In danger of becoming a ghost town in the early 20th century, the town was declared a national monument in 1926 and building became heavily restricted in the town's historic centro district, allowing the city to keep the colorful native facades that have become the backdrop of many famous works of art and even modern motion pictures.
A series of artist colonies were founded in San Miguel in the 1950s, including the famous Instituto Allende, and many G.I.s moved their families here following World War II either to attend one of these colonies or to escape the Polio scares raging through many U.S. cities. The result was a healthy American expatriate population that exists today mostly as elderly retirees and second-generation business owners. This population, combined with the Mexican wealthy (especially actors and politicians) that have rediscovered San Miguel as a Malibu-like retreat from Mexico City, has created an eclectic mix of Old World Mexican charm, American hospitality, and a party atmosphere that makes San Miguel a world-class destination for adventurous travelers.
San Miguel is, first and foremost, a city built for relaxing. It is a Spanish colonial town of perhaps 140,000 people; a heritage site protected by the Mexican government in order to maintain its character. In July of 2008 it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's a tourist destination, an art colony, and a retirement community for a few thousand foreigners, mostly Americans, Canadians, and Europeans. In spite of the increased number of foreigners over the past perhaps 20 years, it still is charming enough that many Mexicans visit for special holidays, and there are more than a few visitors who buy a house within a few days of their first arrival.
Maybe 90% of San Miguel's attractions are within walking distance. Just keep in mind that because San Miguel was built into the side of a mountain, it can turn out to be difficult to traverse, some inclines are 15 or 20 degrees. Furthermore, the streets are cobbled and narrow - some were nothing but goat tracks before they were paved - and many have fallen into disrepair. Curbs are often a high step away from the road. All in all, the town can be unforgiving to an inexperienced walker. For this reason, it is advisable to bring comfortable shoes.
One of the sites that you must see is the San Miguel Arcangel Parish. It has become the hallmark of the city. It is a beautiful temple of the end of the century. Other must places in San Miguel de Allende are the handicraft market of the city or the archeological zone of Cañada la Virgen.
In the market there is a sample of the local craftsmanship made of metals, papier mache, blown glass and more. Its cobbled streets, wooded courtyards, fine architectural details and sumptuous interiors will enchant you; perhaps that is the reason why CN Travel declared it one of the twenty-five best cities chosen by the travelers.

Get your FREE report on Mexico here:
See the video, where Dan Prescher reports from Merida, Mexico, with your weekly wrap-up of International Living postcards for the week ending November 27.
On November 22, Suzan Haskins recalls our recent Live & Invest in Mexico event in Tulum...the next big thing on the radar along Mexico's sun-soaked Caribbean coast. We spent three days there and had the time of our lives learning first-hand how to take advantage of all the lifestyle and real estate opportunities Mexico has to offer. Suzan tells you how you can get all the information from this conference for yourself... even if you weren't at the event with us. She tells you how in her November 22 postcard.
On November 23, Suzan is back with the news that the adventure and great benefits of life overseas can be yours right now—and you don't have to sell everything and make a forever move to get them. Suzan says that rather than plunge, you can take a part-time paddle to test the waters someplace new. There are specific strategies that make it easy to try out your dream destination to see if it really is your dream... Suzan tells you what they are in her postcard.
Suzan goes three in a row with a report from Medellin in Colombia. We visited this mountain metropolis for the first time just a few months ago, and what we found there was shocking... and I don't mean in a bad way. Some of our friends called us crazy for going there, but after what we saw, you'd be crazy not to put Medellin on your list if you're looking for great infrastructure, beautiful weather, and night life that just won't quit. Suzan gives you the whole story in her November 24 postcard.
Glynna Prentice writes in with what she says are three of the most beautiful colonial cities in Mexico... and they're not in Mexico's central highlands. Many people think Mexico's greatest colonial heritage is in the central mountains, but Glynna has three picks that are off the beaten path yet have world-class heritage and history in their beautiful buildings, central squares and churches. She'll tell you exactly where they are in her postcard.
International Living's financial editor, Chris Hunter, says that the recent debt crisis in Ireland is just further proof that the days are gone when far-off emerging markets were the risky ones. Now, Chris says, it's the world's developed economies -- and their banks -- that pose the real risk, and the developing countries that are leading the way in economic recovery. Chris has three countries that you'd never think could be setting the standard for future economic growth and profit. He tells you what they are and what you should do about it in his November 26 postcard.
Ronan McMahon of Pathfinder Real Estate cuts right to the chase...how to live happier and healthier in Mexico. He takes us with him as he inspects the next phase of an incredible residential project adjacent to a new Robert Trent Jones II golf course. Ronan says a local shamen had recently blessed the site and assured him that the spirits are fully on board with the project. Find out where this magical place is and what it could mean to your health and happiness in Ronan's November 27 postcard.
That's it from me for this week. Get your FREE report on Mexico here:

SUMMARY
=======
Buenos Aires ( or ; Spanish pronunciation: [ˈbwenos ˈaiɾes]) is the capital and largest city of Argentina. The city is located on the western shore of the estuary of the Río de la Plata, on the South American continent's southeastern coast. Buenos Aires can be translated as fair winds or good airs, but the former was the meaning intended by the founders in the 16th century, by the use of the original name Real de Nuestra Señora Santa María del Buen Ayre. The Greater Buenos Aires conurbation, which also includes several Buenos Aires Province districts, constitutes the fourth-most populous metropolitan area in the Americas, with a population of around 14 million.The city of Buenos Aires is neither part of Buenos Aires Province nor the Province's capital; rather, it is an autonomous district. In 1880, after decades of political infighting, Buenos Aires was federalized and removed from Buenos Aires Province. The city limits were enlarged to include the towns of Belgrano and Flores; both are now neighborhoods of the city. The 1994 constitutional amendment granted the city autonomy, hence its formal name: Autonomous City of Buenos Aires (Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires; CABA). Its citizens first elected a chief of government (i.e. mayor) in 1996; previously, the mayor was directly appointed by the President of the Republic.
Buenos Aires is considered an 'alpha city' by the study GaWC5. Buenos Aires' quality of life was ranked 91st in the world, being one of the best in Latin America in 2018. It is the most visited city in South America, and the second-most visited city of Latin America (behind Mexico City).Buenos Aires is a top tourist destination, and is known for its preserved Spanish/European-style architecture and rich cultural life. Buenos Aires held the 1st Pan American Games in 1951 as well as hosting two venues in the 1978 FIFA World Cup. Buenos Aires will host the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics and the 2018 G20 summit.Buenos Aires is a multicultural city, being home to multiple ethnic and religious groups. Several languages are spoken in the city in addition to Spanish, contributing to its culture and the dialect spoken in the city and in some other parts of the country. This is because in the last 150 years the city, and the country in general, has been a major recipient of millions of immigrants from all over the world, making it a melting pot where several ethnic groups live together and being considered as one of the most diverse cities of the Americas.
Documental PINOCHET // Documentary Pinochet //Пиночет Документальные
Libros Gratis:
Estimados amigos y adversarios: Antes de opinar tan simplonamente les recomiendo leer mas libros referentes al quiebre de 1973 (contemplar la visión beatificadora de la UP con Historiadores opositores y viceversa con el Gobierno Militar).
No base su construcción histórica en documentales llenos de criticas (hechas en el extranjero) hecho por cierta ciudadana estadounidense,que tiene diversos problemas por sus simplismos teóricos referente al capitalismo y su actuar. Existen numerosos documentales (Independiente de este que defiende la Obra del Gobierno Militar) que muestran una visión amplia del periodo (Ej. Secretos de la Historia o Nuestro Siglo) hechos a principios del año 2000.
A los tontos útiles de izquierda: Eviten teorizaciones ampulosas (y de conspiraciones) para intentar explicar los fracasos y todas las cagadas hechas en nombre del proletariado, durante la Unidad Popular y que le costaron a millones de Chilenos, transitar al quiebre institucional de 1973 (tomando posición en uno y otro bando irreconciliable). Donde curiosamente los verdaderos responsables de la destrucción del sistema institucional, literalmente arrancaron como ratas, en vez de estar defendiendo al gobierno del pueblo en la calle... El peor error de algunas personas de izquierda es creer en la existencias de teorías de conspiración, construcciones literarias heroicas amañadas en historia, beatificaciones a santos seculares y la construcción de una mala memoria histórica, eligiendo solamente lo que me conviene mostrar (Se ejemplifica en un silogismo muy simple: zurdos buenos, derechistas malos) sin entender el fundamento del problema. Chile hacia 1970 era un país pobre con múltiples problemas de desarrollo económico y existían 3 proyectos globales de sociedad que eran incompatibles entre sí.
El documental Pinochet, es de mi preferencia porque rescata lo positivo del Gob. Militar y lo expresa claro, cosa que hoy quiere ser olvidada.
Insultos, ofensas y ridiculizaciones, hoy a 42 años del 11 de Septiembre es una falta de respeto e inteligencia para todos los muertos (de derecha o izquierda)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Como un deber de difusión, y para recuperar parte de la tan manipulada manoseada y tergiversada memoria histórica se sube aquí este documental. Para que puedan ver en buena resolución cientos de hechos que llevaron al PRONUNCIAMIENTO DE 1973 y al establecimiento del GOBIERNO DE LAS FUERZAS ARMADAS Y CARABINEROS.
Derechos absolutamente reservados a ACO LTDA y la Corporación 11 de Septiembre.
ACUERDO DE CHILLÁN, DEL PARTIDO SOCIALISTA DE CHILE.
(Resolución adoptada por la unanimidad de sus integrantes, en el Congreso del Partido Socialista de Chile, celebrado en la ciudad de Chillán, los días 24, 25 y 26 de noviembre de 1967)
PRIMERO : El Partido Socialista, como organización marxista-leninista, plantea la toma del poder como objetivo estratégico a cumplir por esta generación, para instaurar un Estado Revolucionario que libere a Chile de la dependencia y del retraso económico y cultural, e inicie la construcción del Socialismo
SEGUNDO : La violencia revolucionaria es inevitable y legítima. Resulta necesariamente del carácter represivo y armado del estado de clase. Constituye la única vía que conduce a la toma del poder político y económico, y a su ulterior defensa y fortalecimiento. Sólo destruyendo el aparato burocrático y militar del estado burgués, puede consolidarse la revolución socialista.
TERCERO : Las formas pacíficas o legales de lucha (reivindicativas, ideológicas, electorales, etc) no conducen por si mismas al poder. El Partido Socialista las considera como instrumentos limitados de acción, incorporados al proceso político que nos lleva a la lucha armada. Consecuentemente, las alianzas que el partido establezca, sólo se justifican en la medida en que contribuyan a la realización de los objetivos estratégicos ya precisados.
Tal como pueden ver, los subversivos, antidemócratas y golpistas, fueron los que precisamente hoy, se enjuagan y hacen gárgaras con las palabras democracia y DD.HH. El único problema que tuvieron para poder alcanzar sus objetivos, es que las FF.AA. se adelantaron, y más aun, la gran mayoría ciudadana de este país, pidió encarecidamente su intervención.
¡SI SE VALIDA E INCITA A LA VIOLENCIA, ES MUY ESPERABLE, UNA RESPUESTA TAMBIÉN VIOLENTA...!!!

SUMMARY
=======
The 1973 Chilean coup d'état was a watershed moment in both the history of Chile and the Cold War. Following an extended period of social unrest and political tension between the opposition-controlled Congress of Chile and the socialist President Salvador Allende, as well as economic warfare ordered by US President Richard Nixon, Allende was overthrown by the armed forces and national police.The military deposed Allende's Popular Unity government and later established a junta that suspended all political activity in Chile and repressed left-wing movements, especially the Communist and socialist parties and the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR). Allende's appointed army chief, Augusto Pinochet, rose to supreme power within a year of the coup, formally assuming power in late-1974. The United States government, which had worked to create the conditions for the coup, promptly recognized the junta government and supported it in consolidating power.During the air raids and ground attacks that preceded the coup, Allende gave his final speech, in which he vowed to stay in the presidential palace, refusing offers of safe passage should he choose exile over confrontation. Direct witness accounts of Allende's death agree that he killed himself in the palace.Before the coup, Chile had been hailed as a beacon of democracy and political stability for decades; whilst the rest of South America had been plagued by military juntas and Caudillismo. The collapse of Chilean democracy ended a streak of democratic governments in Chile, which had held democratic elections since 1932. Historian Peter Winn characterised the 1973 coup as one of the most violent events in the history of Chile. A weak insurgent movement against the Pinochet regime was maintained inside Chile by elements sympathetic to the former Allende government. An internationally supported plebiscite in 1988 held under the auspices of the military government was followed by a peaceful transition to an elected civilian government.
