Yesterday, on St. Anthony's Day, we attended the Blessing of the Animals. Fortunately there were no felines in attendance, only noisy, yappy canines. The presence of one cat could have tipped the delicate balance of tolerance between a shaggy wolfhound and a precocious poodle! This ceremony is held annually in the beautiful chapel of Hacienda San Angel and attracts furry critters of all sizes. Their doting owners accompany them while the priest blesses each one with holy water.
Afterwards, everyone is invited to the Hacienda for refreshments. Classified as a luxury boutique hotel, the Hacienda is a merging of five villas, one previously owned by Richard Burton. Fourteen elegant suites, surrounded by gardens and set high above Banderas Bay, range in price from $450-850 per night. Dogs are welcome!!
