Maria Gertrudis Barceló, known as Doña Tules, was a notorious gambler and courtesan who operated a gambling house and saloon on Burro Alley in Santa Fe. She traveled up El Camino Real from Sonora, Mexico in 1815. Bishop Jean-Baptiste Lamy allowed her, despite her controversial reputation, to be buried in the south chapel of La Parroquia, the Santa Fe parish church, and used the money from her funeral for badly needed repairs.
