The building in the background is the (or one of the) theaters in Guadalajara.

 The back of the church where there is a big square and that is where the carving art competition was held. It is sponsored by the Mexican government and so there are a lot of nice public pieces of art all over most cities and towns in Mexico.

Rasping to shape a piece of art.
