Antigua Guatemala: Tanque de la Union (1)

Tanque La Unión is a large public washhouse surrounded by arches, in the park of the same name. For generations, women from the neighborhood came here to do their laundry, and you can still see some locals using it today.

The spot is a quiet little square, with views of the Santa Clara ruins and San Pedro church, and Volcán de Agua peeking out to the south. It is one of the most photogenic and least crowded corners of the center.
