Thank you for your article about ‘The other Guadalupe’ in the Oct. 22 issue. 

I was blessed to have visited the small town of Guadalupe in Spain after I finished the Camino de Santiago in July 2018. I went specifically to Guadalupe to see the Black Madonna that I read about and researched while studying for my Master of Arts at Loyola Marymount University. 

I found the article to be very accurate and well-researched, drawing on authoritative information from the Royal Spanish Association of Official Chroniclers, and so I also learned some new details from it.
