San Cristóbal El Bajo is a small colonial era village on the lower slopes of Volcán de Agua, just past Santa Ana and El Calvario on the south side of Antigua. It is a cute little village with its church and fountain on the plaza, a school nearby, and a mix of houses in the village and some very nice condominiums in the zone. You get a rural feel ten minutes from the centre, and land is easier to find here than in the city.
Parador Santa Clara, the newer mall on the road out this way, has a grocery store, restaurants and banking, so residents on this side of town have their day to day conveniences without driving through Antigua.
