Daily life of villagers under the volcano during slack season.

In the slack seasons, men would work in the factories nearby and women take their homegrown fruit to the fair in Antigua, which is filled with tourists from all over the world all year round. Nourished by the bright tropical sunshine, people there are content and passionate. They dance salsa on the street, and call you amigo or amiga (“friend” in Spanish) even if you are totally a stranger to them.
