About this audio guide
This guide to Iglesia de San Servacio in Valladolid, Yucatan turns on a political feud gone violent at the church in the early seventeen hundreds, and the strange punishment the bishop handed the building itself rather than the men responsible. It follows the disgraced official who sought sanctuary inside and the rival who came after him. It also tracks the marquesita and longaniza carts that fill the same ground every evening today.
