Sucre – The White City
19th April 2010
Sucre, founded in 1538, is a Cultural Heritage Site. It is a city of dazzling white colonial buildings and churches.
.
There is a bustling central market where anything and everything is sold. The local food is fresh, cheap and good. One of our favourites is papas rellenas (potato balls stuffed with cheese and egg).
.
At Santa Teresa Convent we purchased sweets from the nuns by way of a miniature revolving door which isolates the nuns from the outside world.
