Guatemala sells light and color
This is the view from the dining room. Guatemala sells itself as tourist destination and they focus mainly on the colonial towns, the Mayan people, the Mayan ruins and the Atitlán Lake. Well, they miss the gorgeous light and color that is available throughout Guatemala.
Here I leave you with the image that you are having breakfast and you decide to step to the door to receive a little sunshine and you are overwhelmed by the amount greens and reds and the stunning warm quality of the light. I buy that on the spot, wouldn’t you?

Yes, I would buy that on the spot. The colonial towns and the anchient cultures are interesting, but I agree with you: there are magical qualities such as this that would leave a lasting impression on any visitor, yet are hard to sum up in the brochure.

[...] Back on July 9th I told you that Guatemala sells light and color when I showed you an open door that leads to a garden at Posada del Ángel. I still believe sunshine is one the best reasons to visit Antigua, but not the only one. As you can see on this photo, you can have access to beautiful fountains, gardens, and architectonic delicacies. This scene belongs to another house turned into a Bed-n-Breakfast hotel. In the next few days I will bring to you other details from this wonderful place called Hotel Centro Colonial Antigua which is only a half of block away from Parque Central.
