Ruinas Iglesia Santiago

Well signed 1½ blocks away from San Juan Bautista, this church was (according to local legend) cursed by duendes (fairies), and by the looks of it the curse worked. Enter through the corrugated tin gate and ask the family there if it’s OK to cross their front yard; they may ask for a few córdobas. The architecture is still obvious – the bell tower is still standing – and makes for an interesting wander.
