We are so fortunate in Antigua Guatemala to have a fresh plentiful supply of tropical fruits all year long. And quite inexpensive as well; for instance, two huge papayas go for Q25 / $3. I believe this fruit bonanza is also the reason why there is a licuado culture and tradition in Guatemala.
What fruits would you like in your licuado today?
Even though Antigua Guatemala is located in the Sierra Madre high lands at 1,530 meters above the sea level, that’s above 5,000 feet, we have a plentiful supply of tropical fruits grown in the low coastal lands; often the fruits are harvested less than 24 hours prior to the sale. Here I was reminded of how fortune we are in Guatemala to have fresh tropical fruits year round very inexpensively.
What fruits would you like to have in your smoothie?
I found this booth selling piñas colada and mojito smoothies at the doorway of pseudo Mexican restaurant. I had the mojito flavor and it was very, very good, especially for the hot weather we had today in Antigua Guatemala. Of course, these a good way to observe the Cinco de Mayo, a very important celebration for Mexicans everywhere except almost all of Mexico. However, I would order lime and pineapple margaritas or any citric smoothie with a few shots of tequila or mezcal, don’t you agree?
I am a new reader and I want to thank you for this wonderful, informative website. I will be studying in La Antigua, Guatemala for three months this fall, and I am learning so much from your posts! —Molly Lansdowne
