Antigua is known for this Arch, and it shows up in many of the woven goods as an angular repeated pattern. It is a good landmark to navigate by as well, and there are many festivals on this street.
My favorite meal here is a rich chicken/rice soup, or "caldo", which is accompanied by condiment bowls with slices of lime, cayenne pepper, oregeno and shallots... I like to include avocado as well. Mmmm.
La Merced is one of the most amazing churches, with a lovely facade. The Mayan workers wove a corn motif into the facade when they built it, and the monks at the time didn't realize that a pagan symbol was included until too late.
The doors and windows of Antigua are renown. I didn't have time to photograph the doors as I would have liked, but captured this window.
The other landmark in Antigua is volcan Agua, which can be seen from many cobbled streets.
