Realize the dream of publishing the photo book of Old Guayaquil it was indescribable. Seeing this most real face of that centennial Guayaquil appear was like traveling back in time.

Some months have passed since the book was launched and it continues to sell well, which makes me feel proud and excited, so today I decided to publish one or another photograph, of the almost 100 that make up this work, and share with you this dazzling reality of our country's past.

If anyone is interested in acquiring the book, I leave the following link: historiasacolor.com
