Antigua’s streets are used for many things. Often you can see people water-coloring and oil-painting on the streets. Some of them do it for pleasure, others make a living selling their artworks to tourists. Believe me when I say that this city has many motives for amateurs painters and photographers alike.

Antigua is also used as backdrop and great location by professional photographers and film-makers. Actually, there are quite a few movies which have been shot in Antigua; I don’t have a list now, but I will post it later on with some movie-making photos.

    [...] These costumbrismo paintings are done by local painters sitting on small stool right on the streets. [...]
