Doctrine east of the grid

The municipal historical volume describes San Blas as a doctrine or parish of Indians east of Cuenca's urban grid, serving residents near the church and communities along the Inca road toward Guatana and Monay. The 1982 ordinance gives the urban parish a defined frame between Vega Muñoz, Huayna Cápac, Guapondélig and the Tomebamba, preserving the distinction between colonial social history and today's legal area. 2 1
