Antigua, Guatemala

Antigua is a beautiful town, surrounded by volcanoes. Its altitude (1500m) makes it a tiny bit cooler. For the first time on my Central american adventure I have needed to wear a jacket! While I've been here I've bought some Mayan weaving at the colourful markets. Antigua has some attractive historic buildings, as it was once the be the capital of Guatemala. It also has some interesting ruins, knocked down by earthquakes that crop up in this volcanic area.
