in a valley surrounded by pine covered mountains. It is an
important religious site in Mexico with its gothic church
that is home to the cherished virgin ´Rosario of Talpa´,
one of the virgins known as ´the three sisters´
of Jalisco. There are 3 pilgrimages a year to see the Virgin
"Rosario of Talpa", a small statue that is said
to have healing powers; on these occasions the town's population
triples.
