Santiago Guatemala streets.

A cobblestone street in Santiago Atitlán, Guatemala, is lined with brightly painted low-rise buildings and overhead utility lines, with volcanic slopes rising beyond the town. Santiago Atitlán is a municipality on the southern shore of Lake Atitlán, where streets in the town center combine traditional masonry construction with newer concrete block additions and modern electrical infrastructure. The mix of storefronts, residences, and vehicle traffic is typical of the town’s role as a local commercial and administrative center for surrounding communities.
