Un paseo por Antigua
A two-hour walking tour of Antigua Guatemala: start in the Parque Central, sit on a bench and look at the fountain and the cathedral; walk three blocks up the Quinta Avenida Norte to the Santa Catalina Arch and photograph it with the Agua volcano behind; turn left to the handicraft market, where asking for a discount is normal; try pepián, a typical stew, for lunch; finally buy Antigua coffee and take it home as a present.
