The Angels of Tlancualpicán For our New Year's page we return to one of our favorite themes: el barroco poblano, the unique "folk baroque" art and architecture of the Puebla region of Mexico.
This time we revisit the colorful village church of Tlancualpicán in the northwestern corner of the state, one of a celebrated group of painted churches in the area.
