Al comienzo de la ruta de peregrinaje a la Virgen de Talpa encontramos el camino que asciende al Cerro del Obispo, desde ahí, delineada contra el cielo, reconocemos desde lejos la Capilla de la Gratitud. Esta estructura-escultura forma parte de un corredor cultural de turismo-religioso de 117 km, de Ameca a Talpa de Allende, realizada por encargo de la Secretaría de Turismo del Estado de Jalisco. Una pendiente indica el camino al muro de las promesas, donde los peregrinos declaran su búsqueda personal y el moti- vo de su expedición. Así es como entramos a este es- pacio simbólico de gratitud y reflexión personal que consta únicamente de cuatro muros.


At the beginning of the pilgrimage route to the Virgin of Talpa the road leads up the hill Cerro del Obispo and from there, contrasting against the sky, we can see the chapel Capilla de la Gratitud. This sculpture is part of a cultural, touristic-religious route of 117 km length from Ameca to Talpa de Allende, realized upon the order of the Secretary for Tourism of the state of Jalisco. An inclination leads to the wall of promises where the pilgrims declare their personal quest and the motive of their expedition. And the same way we enter this symbolic space of gratitude and personal reflection which consists of nothing but four walls.
