Hola Alberto. Interesting video. Sayula has a few points of interest. The portales on the plaza are sort of reminiscent of something more frequently encountered in the Yucatan. I wonder if they are 16th or very early 17th century, or a later neomudejar construction. The spiral stone stairway leading to the coro alto and the roof looks ancient. It wasn't built for defensive purposes, otherwise the stairs would have spiraled the other way to give right handed defenders an advantage over attackers. The atrio cross dated 1578 and the carved stone pila bautismal are 16th century and must date from the earliest church. If the present church dates from the late 16th or early 17th century it was heavily remodeled in the neoclassic style in the 19th century, as evidenced by the Ionic columns that front the facade and the neoclassic interior. The proliferation of pueblos magicos is certainly benefitting a lot of Mexico's small towns. Cleaning up the town centers (and beyond?) benefits the residents and may lead to increased business opportunities (restaurants, small hotels, tiendas, fabricas de artesanos, etc). That means more jobs, plus work for painters, carpenters, electricians, gardeners, etc. I'm not sure that many of these pueblos magicos will appeal to the average foreign tourist, unless they are looking for a place to relax and read a good guide book about important places to visit as they continue their trip through Mexico. Many of these pueblos magicos will probably have greater appeal for Mexicans, although they would probably be an ideal place for foreign tourists to get to know Mexicans and practice their Spanish. During my trips 40-55 years ago I found lots of magic in Mexico's towns of all sizes, even if they were not labeled pueblos magicos. I focused on churches and conventos (the sort that were featured in "Artes de Mexico" or were the subject of books by INAH or UNAM), as well as archaeological ruins and Indian markets. I was never disappointed. If I were to return to Mexico I would employ the same strategy, ignoring the pueblos magicos unless they had some really significant colonial era architecture. Or if they had a newer church like the cathedral in Zamora. That is a building worth a side trip. I'm really attracted to vernacular architecture too, like the houses in Angahuan, Mich. Have you been there? There used to be lots of towns and villages with thatched roof houses, but I suspect that tin or tar paper roofs are now cheaper and faster to build than finding thatch material and then building a rain proof roof. There are a number of other interesting towns between Guadalajara and the Sayula Valley. Santa Anita Atliztac, Santa Cruz de las Flores, Los Reyes Cajititlan, San Lucas Cajititlan, San Juan Evangelista and Amacueca all have important colonial era churches or conventos. How many have you seen or made videos of when visiting them? I try to watch all of your videos but you make too many for me to comment on every one of them. Feliz Ano Nuevo to you and Adriana.
Hello William, apparently, as you mention, the church had a major remodeling because the building and all its spaces look very complete. It is from the 16th century according to data shown on it and on the atrial cross. I don't know the town you mention in Michoacán, regarding Amacueca I just uploaded a video, I hope you see it, what you mention about the way the snail is made is interesting, I would never have imagined the advantage according to the profile that handle in defense. In reality, the magical towns, as you mention, are not all of general interest, there are even some that do not really deserve that distinction, there is a lot of work to be done to offer tourism a good image and, above all, to recommend them because of Otherwise they will not obtain the expected benefits. I hope that this year 2024 you have great blessings in your life and a thank you for your friendship and above all for the support, we send you a family hug.
