Sucre, Bolivia

---

With only two hundred thousand inhibitants the juridical capital of Bolivia and till 1899 was also the governemental capital, but it lost "La guerra civil" against La Paz. In 1825, Bolivian's independence was declared here on the Plaza 25 de Mayo. For me it is the most beautiful city thinking about it's nice colonial architecture, many old buildings, churches and convents (La Paz is more impressive with its extreme location in altitude around 4.000m and surrounded by many six thousand peaks). And, I have to say that Chorizo (sausage) with salad, Sucre's typical food is really delicious 😉
