QUITO, EQUADOR -- 4

CALLE DE LAS SIETE CRUCES Y ROCAFUERTE




The second-highest capital in the world (after La Paz, Bolivia), Quito is a lovely Andean city with an exquisite colonial centre packed with architectural treasures.

Wandering the Unesco-listed centro histórico (aka old town) is pure sensory overload.

IF I HAD ONE SUPER HERO POWER,

IT WOULD BE TO TAKE CARE OF ALL CATS


My model would be the love, care and shelter given by the people at the Largo di Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary.

They have given a good life to our distance adoption love, wise old Siamese baby boy Tichiro.


They are located among historic ruins in the heart of Rome's Centro Storico.
