Santa Teresa Alley

This is one of the most traditional places in the town, full of legends dating back to the middle colonial period. These legends have persisted with the passing of the years and even now, the locals used to bury bones of cows to ward off evil spirits that still pass through the place.
We tried to enter the place but were told by a local lady that it was an active cloister for nuns and men are not allowed inside. Even the women don't interact with them. The only way to have your prayers said is to use the rotating window in the corner of the courtyard where you can talk to the nuns without seeing them. You tell them what you want to pray for and put the money envelope on the rotating window for them to take. This she proceeded to demonstrate as she was there to ask for a prayer.
All the above discussion happened in Spanish so we might have got some things wrong but we actually did see everything we were told so most probably we did get it right.もっと詳しく
