Welcome to La Antigua Guatemala's blogumentary through daily photographs and descriptive narratives of a Spanish Colonial Town embedded between coffee plantations, flower farms and volcanoes.
As a Guatemalan, I always joked that guatemalans were very much like Hobbits, when it comes to their eating habits. Anyways, I missed my refacciones here in the US. I remember we had Refaccion in the morning, but the afternoon we called it something else.
As a Guatemalan residing in Los Angeles, CA. I always had the belief that pupusas was a platillo tipico from El Salvador. I know of many salvadoreans living in Guate. Also, regarding the Loroco, you can always keep it frozen on an vacuum sealed bag. It keeps something like 80% of it’s flavor so that might be something worth checking.
