25 miles from the capital, Antigua is one of the most beautiful cities in Latin America. It is marked on the Unesco world heritage list for its colonial ruins, churches, convents and pastel-coloured residences with dilapidated walls. Take some time to walk around Parque Central, a square where you can find the palace, the baroque-style cathedral and the city hall. Wander around the market, visit Santa Clara, an 18th century convent, visit the San Francisco Church, with typical of Spanish baroque architecture and also Popenoe casa to see inside a colonial house.
