Stones and church of Arrichinaga |

Hi,
some books and articles mention the church of Arrichinaga in Spain. In this church are two very big stones near the altar. This stones are mentioned in the book "Ancient Mysteries" by Peter James and Nick Thorpe. In this book you can find a (old) copper engraving showing the altar and both stones. I just have scanned it and you can see it in the internet:

The original source of this engraving may be
"Rude Stone monuments in all countries" by James Fergusson, 1872.
Unfortunately I could not find any further and newer information about this place. Also the town (or village) Arrichinaga cannot be found on the internet.
Perhaps Arrichinaga now has a new name or the church has been destroyed during the last 130 years.
Best wishes from Germany
Helge
