Villa de Leyva - Colonial Style

Villa de Leyva - great fully preserved colonial style about 3 hours from Bogota

A fantastic town for chilling out - where we spent 6 days, sitting in cafes, reading magazines, strolling and eating great food. Also bought our first local artwork for the apartment.





Hola mi amor.


The whole town shows off Spanish colonial architecture at its best.


Gringo in town.




Our budget hotel right on the main square







Local law and order





Political rally Colombian style
Who said politics was bull? Lots of passion for politics here.
This procession went on for 3 hours, bull, horseback, motorbike, car and truck - music at full volume, fireworks and everyone pretty much drunk.



Hola Senorita. Do you give riding lessons?


Absolutely everyone on bike, bull, horse, car or truck was drinking huge quantities of local Aguilla beer. Hilarious to watch - and loud.
