The second Sunday of Lent is the turn for the village of Santa Inés del Monte Pulciano. It is at this processional float when many cucuruchos from Guatemala City make their first appearance. For this procession, Nelo Mijangos took 752 photos and “only” walked 19.4 kilometers or 12 miles. You can see his route on the map below.
Do you know where is located the village of Santa Inés del Monte Pulciano?

This is how maps looked like in colonial times. Can you see the reference to Cerro de la Cruz? You may have to click the image above to get a larger version.
This was the very first time I became aware of the location of the table with the antique map on top. The table’s got a map, a nice one at that, and Rudy took a very pleasant photo of it with a cup of coffee next to it.
Can you guess where in La Antigua Guatemala?
Hint, they make excellent coffee, excellent chocolates, the food is great, and the ambience is plain antigüeña authentic!

On August 3rd, I have said that La Antigua Guatemala is a very small town (about 10×10 block grid), but there is nothing like a map to put it in perspective. You have to click on the image of the map to get a larger size, so you can see all the details. Many people are not aware that by clicking the photos that appear above the captions they can see a 200 percent enlargement to dive into the texture, grain and details of the images.
I found your amazing and wonderful blog when I moved to Guatemala last month. It has been my survival guide. Do not change a thing. You should publish a book because this type of information is not easily found anywhere... I learned about pilas, grazinadas, tamales, holiday food, etc. etc. etc Yesterday a sompopo de Mayo showed up and I was happy to learn more about it from your site. —RWORANGE
