History
Antigua was Guatemala’s colonial capital until an 18th-century earthquake damaged many structures; the city’s preserved ruins and Baroque architecture frame its market culture.
Conservation
Support small vendors by buying directly and minimizing single-use plastics; many local producers operate sustainably but demand can strain small operations during high season.
