Antigua is a city shaped by centuries of artistry, tradition, and natural forces. Set in a highland valley and surrounded by volcanoes, its streets are lined with colorful buildings, hidden courtyards, and open-air plazas.

This shoreline also hosts a mix of minerals collected over millennia and known for their soothing effect on skin and joints.
