I spent a pretty miserable week (weather-wise) in Antigua, Guatemala. It rained every single day I was there, which scuppered all my plans. In fact, the only saving grace of that week was the fact that I thoroughly enjoyed my experience of Spanish school\u2026and that even in the rain, Antigua is a pretty cool city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most backpackers travelling in Central America tend to have an itinerary that starts either in Mexico (heading South) or Costa Rica (heading North); one that often doesn\u2019t include Honduras or El Salvador. I had been looking forward to visiting both countries but decided to prioritise attending a Spanish school in Antigua instead. This meant I had to survive an 18-hour bus ride from Le\u00f3n, Nicaragua to Guatemala. I am one of those unfortunate humans who suffers with motion sickness, and I was fully prepared to feel awful every minute of the journey. Surprisingly, it went much more smoothly than expected…turns out I can sleep for 17 hours and 59 minutes!<\/p>\n\n\n

The colourful streets of Antigua <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Antigua, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a pretty colonial city with colourful houses on cobbled streets interspersed with the impressive architecture of the cathedrals, convents and colleges, set in a lush valley surrounded by stunning views of three volcanoes. The city is laid out in a grid pattern (which I love) and which makes it easy to find your way around. Although this city clearly caters to tourists, with a host of hostels and hotels and an impressive array of fantastic restaurants and cafes, it doesn\u2019t feel touristy. There is still a charm to it, from its market stalls full of food and handicraft goods, to the colourful camionetas (chicken buses) that traverse its streets, and the ruins around the city following a disastrous earthquake in 1773, when Antigua was the capital city of Guatemala. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
