Celebrating its 203rd birthday, the beautiful “White Dove of the Desert”, Mission San Xavier del Bac has been claimed as being one of the finest examples of mission architecture in the world.  Mission San Xavier del Bac is situated on an elevation in the Santa Cruz Valley nine miles south of the city of Tucson.
From the earliest times, the Native American settlement in which the Mission is located was called Bac “place where the water appears” because the Santa Cruz River, which ran underground from some distance, reappeared on the surface nearby.  The celebrated Jesuit missionary and explorer, Father Eusebio Francisco Kino, first visited Bac in 1692.  Eight years later in 1700, Father Kino laid the foundations of the first church, some two miles north of the present Mission.  Father Kino named the Mission in honor of his chosen patron, St. Francis Xavier, the illustrious Jesuit “Apostle of the Indies”.  Mission San Xavier del Bac has been acclaimed by authorities as the finest example of mission architecture in the United States.  It is a graceful blending of Moorish, Byzantine and late Mexican Renaissance.  So well do the diverse elements fuse, that it is almost impossible to point out where one style begins and the other ends. Then enjoy great bargain shopping “south of the border”.  Three are gift shops, markets and bakeries.  Liquor, silver and leather goods are the greatest deals; so don’t forget to “dicker” over prices.  Lunch will be at the El Greco Restaurant in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico.  The ambiance and service attest to the restaurant’s popularity.  You will have a choice of three entrees while the Mariachi music filters the air. (NOTE: Motor coach will cross into Nogales, Sonora Mexico and park in front of El Greco Restaurant.  Passengers then may come and go to the motor coach with their purchases after lunch.)
