Page 3 - Guadalupe of Mexico in Spain

Mexico’s independence, by landowners, viceroys, bishops, members of religious orders, functionaries

and families with concerns in trans-oceanic trade and mining. From then until the present day, the
presence of these representations, now reduced, has been linked to migration, exile and globalization.

The areas of greatest devotional tradition are concentrated on the Atlantic and Catabrian coastlines of
Spain and the centre of the Iberian Peninsula. Among the destinations of the artworks are eighteen
cathedrals, thirteen basilicas, seven collegiate churches and four Marian shrines, where they are
worshipped in their own right. Besides parish churches and chapels in towns and villages, convents and
museums, a large number of copies are preserved in private museums. This map tracing the estimated
locations of the images was drawn up by Dr. Francisco Montes González (University of Seville).
