Must-see attractions
Parque Centro América
Quetzaltenango
　　Most of Xela's sights crowd in and around the broad central plaza. It's a great place for a stroll or to sit and people-watch. It was originally two separate parks, designed by Italian architect Alberto Porta in the 19th century; these were combined in a 1930s update into its current...

Iglesia El Calvario
Quetzaltenango
　　The church that lends its name to the neighborhood west of the center was built four centuries ago on a rise to avoid Xela's periodic flooding. Check out the grand interior with its unusually broad single-nave design. Calvario is one of the chief way stations during Semana Santa celebrations. ...
Museo de Arte
Quetzaltenango
　　An interesting if chaotic collection of some 400 paintings by Guatemala's leading modernists is exhibited here, including works by Efraín Recinos, Jorge Mazariegos and the landscape artist José Luis Álvarez. Most prominently displayed are the fantastic canvases of Rodrigo Díaz, who also happens to be the curator. ...

Bizarre contrast notwithstanding, it makes a handy shelter during a rainstorm and a useful...
Cemetery
Quetzaltenango
　　Quetzaltenango's enormous cemetery is a pleasant and fascinating green space for a walk. To the left of the main entrance, visit the grave of the gypsy Vanushka, spurned and shamed by her wealthy lover until she died of a broken heart. Flowers are still left at her grave by those...
Centro Intercultural de Quetzaltenango
Quetzaltenango
　　Quetzaltenango's railroad station, 1km east of the Templo de Minerva along 4a Calle, lay dormant for many years until the city converted it into this center, which now houses schools of art and dance, plus three interesting museums. 　　The Museo Ixkik' is devoted to Maya weaving and traditional outfits, while...
