Once you visit Xela (Quetzaltenango) you just can’t avoid thinking on coming back. The weather is fantastic and the early walks around the park while you go to get some breakfast are memorable.

This is a view from the Central Park (Historic Center) of Xela at approximately 10:00AM after having some breakfast.

The city is way modern and is divided in two parts: the new modern like city and the Historic Center (also modern) but preserving the old eruopean (italian influenced) architecture.

I prefer this side of the city being more quiet and rich in art and peaceful places to hang out.

The whole park is surrounded by bars, coffee shops, hotels and beautiful ancient buildings.

But there is nothing like the clouds decorating the sky while the sun heats the windy day.
