Mexican town shares a history with B.C.'s west coast

Mexican town shares a history with B.C.'s west coast

The age-and smoke-grimed stone walls of Nuestra Senora del Rosario la Marinera stand silent in a small jungle clearing just below the summit of San Basilio Hill, on the outskirts of San Blas. The cathedral-sized church displays no stained-glass windows and the giant, stonemason-shaped beams arching across the nave have never supported a proper roof, construction funds having run out before the building could be capped in 1769.
