Would other folks say that services or amenities in general are being cut?? Perhaps due to the economy? It's a beautiful church that should remain open. Hopefully, someone is "in the know" and can answer your question.
The church's main purpose has always been as an entertainment venue. It was not built as a house of worship but as part of the scene of a Spanish town. It has always had just one non denominational service per week and no other church functions. It is being enlarged inside now and that is the reason for canceling the church service. I would be surprised if it didn't resume after the renovation. There has NEVER been fireworks here to my knowledge and the parades have been cancelled. There have always been disparaging remarks against almost all restaurants and many that I personally enjoy very much. I see nothing changing here. Same old, same old lovely place with lots to do.
