There isn't nearly as much Spanish influence in this part of Mexico as
there is in other parts. *The local people tell us that they want to

Spanish, they say. * That, I guess, is why you don't see much genuine
16th-18th century ironwork around. *I think the oldest Christian church
on Cozumel is from the 1800's, for example.
