Santa Fe Opera Tour #3

On Wednesday, July 31 as part of the tour, our bus took the group to Taos. On the way, we stopped at Chimayo, and saw El Santuario de Chimayo, a Roman Catholic Shrine, which still receives over 300,000 visitors a year and is an important pilgrimage site in North America.

In Chimayo, we also visited the Potrero Trading Post next to the shrine which is renowned for its red and green chillies. 



And also part of this village is the Santo Nino chapel, below, you can see the strong Spanish influence in the design and decoration:
