(1) The shale and sandstone Mission San Griorio de Abó, begun circa 1622, abandoned 1673. The ruins stand in the Estancia Basin of central New Mexico, one of three sites of the Salinas Pueblo Missions National Monument. (2) The shale and sandstone Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de Quarai, begun in 1627, abandoned circa 1677. (3) A Sonoran Spotted Whiptail (Aspidoscelis sonorae) catches the sunlight near the ruins of the Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de Quarai. (4) Indian Paint Brush (Castilleja affinis) grow wild on the grounds of the Mission Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción de Quarai. (5) Of the three Salinas Missions, Quarai enjoyed access to streams and endured the longest. However, enduring drought and human strife led to its abandonment by both Spaniards and pueblo peoples in 1677. Permanent human habitation would not return to the Estancia Basin until the early 19th century.

VENTO BÃO

Vento arrevoa cisco de chão.

Parede de pó que se alevanta

e vai buliçar com saias de donzelas.

É vem pré-d'água!

Insolente, vai atazanar

meio mundo:

Bigodes de velhinhos,

roupas de quarais,

remoinho de folhas de chão.

E cãozinho que nunca

vira vendaval!

Vento bão,

rasteirinho,

cheinho de chuva.

Vento-chuvaral!

Traz consigo

memórias tão antigas

como folhas de zinco

barulhando em telhados.

Vento amigo, vento antigo.

Que refresca

memórias de velhos

e encanta criancinhas.

The Spanish missionaries constructed the Nuestra Señora de la Purísima Concepción mission between 1627–1633. The Franciscan priests recruited the village’s women and children (forced labor). The nave measured 100 x 27 feet, making it one of the largest in the state. It was 40-feet tall, nearly twice the height of most pueblo churches. Until the Salinas pueblos collapsed (plague, raids, smallpox, drought) in the 1640s, Quarai was home base for the Spanish Inquisition in New Mexico.

Today we drove out South 14 from Tijeras through the land grant communities to Mountainair with a stop at the Quarai Ruins n.m. When my family moved here 50 years ago, this was one of our first “Sunday drives.” #wholettherobbsout? https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm3I5m8Ogme/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Quarai Mission Ruins National Monument, NM.

The Quarai Pueblo Mission was built between 1627-1632 and served as the seat of the Inquisition. This was the place where Spanish settlers were charged with crimes against the church- witchcraft, blasphemy, unfaithfullness, and creating love potions. Everyone knows love potions only lead to bad news. Once accused here, the blasphemers would be bound and sent to Mexico City for “trial”. Not that different from what was going on in Salem in the late 1600′s.
