The restaurant was located in an old colonial residence and included a very picturesque courtyard where you could sit and eat your Big Mac while looking up at Volcán de Agua.


Across the road from Anitgua's main market.


We then ventured for a walk through the mercado.


It was interesting to see President Trump has fans in Guatemala too! (Translation: Donald, you are a fool).


Antiguans grabbing a bite to eat.


We then stopped at a restaurant in the market to try some ceviche, Guatemalan style; shrimp marinated in salt, pepper, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion, tomatoes, chilies and cilantro along with crackers on the side. Very tasty!


Abuela y nieta.


Next we headed to the comedor, or dining hall of the market, a place where locals could get a cheap bite to eat.


And where we could try some traditional Guatemalan cuisine such as salpicón made from minced beef, Chile relleno (a pimiento pepper that is stuffed with shredded pork and vegetables), beans, beetroot and tortillas made from blue corn.


We then continued our walk through the market.
