Antigua was founded by the Spanish in the 1500s, and served as the colonial capital for almost 200 years, until a spate of earthquakes caused the government to move the capital to Guatemala City. Packed with Spanish Baroque buildings and ruins, it is a designated UNESCO World Heritage site.

“The open road is a beckoning, a strangeness, a place where a man can lose himself.” — William Least Heat Moon
