If you walk around in Antigua, this is pretty much what you will see. Long, straight cobblestone streets that are narrow enough that every one of them is one way. The houses are almost always single floored. They are colorfully painted but not as bright as in Curacao, Burano, Valladolid or the Azores for example. They mostly all look similar. The major differentiation is the door. The size and level of ornateness of the door signifies the owner’s richness and standing in the social order.
